Explanation:

To determine the correct answers, we analyze each option:

• Social responsibility: Many successful American firms engage in social responsibility initiatives (e.g., charitable giving, ethical labor practices) as goals beyond financial profit. This is a common non - financial goal.
• Outsourcing as much labor as possible: This is typically a cost - cutting (financial) strategy rather than a goal beyond financial profitability. It focuses on reducing labor costs to increase profits.
• Environmentally friendly options: Firms may adopt environmentally friendly practices (like sustainable production) as part of corporate social responsibility or long - term sustainability goals, which are beyond just financial profit.
• Lobbying for corporate tax breaks: This is a financial strategy to reduce tax expenses and increase profits, not a goal beyond financial profitability.
