Format for Assignment:
Assignment must be organized in three sections:
Section 1. In this section update the information in the two paragraphs for 2018, labeled "For Section 1." Use outside research that you judge to be credible. This section should be no more than two paragraphs long.
Section 2. In this section answer questions 1 and 2. Number each one. Answer each one separately and in order. In your answers you should use your own ideas about ethics as well. For this section of the assignment use outside sources for reinforcement. This section should be the longest, at about two or more pages long.
Section 3. In this section answer discussion question 3. Answer will require some outside research. Do more than just quote Starbucks' official statements. Question is asking why you think they did what they did, and why you think this. This section should be no more than one page.
Discussion Questions:
1. In your opinion, do corporations now pay their fair share of taxes? Explain why or why not. If not, what should be done about it?
2. If a company like Apple is not acting illegally, is there anything wrong with its tax avoidance gimmicks?
3. Why do you think Starbucks decided to pay voluntarily taxes it was not legally required to pay? What evidence can you give to support your opinion? [Notice I’m modifying question 4 from the way it’s given in your textbook.
