Answer
Correct Answer: voluntarily offered to render additional services in lieu of nothing
Explanation
Given data
- Goal stated: enhancing profit.
Concept/ApproachActions that raise costs (paid leave, welfare schemes, 'lucrative' overtime) typically reduce profit unless offset by large gains. Offering additional services for free directly lowers cost per output, improving profit.
