Paper 1 · sustainable resource use
Using resources sustainably benefits an enterprise mainly because
Ait transfers the cost of raw materials onto the government
Bit exempts the enterprise from paying tax on its raw materials
Cit keeps resources available for future production and cuts waste
Dit raises the price customers are willing to pay for every product
Explanation: Sustainable use means taking no more than can be replaced and getting more output from each unit of input. The enterprise keeps a supply of materials for future production and spends less on waste and disposal, and it also protects its reputation with customers who care about the environment. No exemption from tax follows from it.
