Answer: By negotiating a purchase agreement where the charity is overcharged for the truck.
**Explanation:** According to **Standard I(D): Misconduct**, CFA members must not engage in any professional conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, or deceit, or commit any act that reflects adversely on their professional reputation, integrity, or competence. Overcharging the charity constitutes fraud and reflects poorly on Melmo's professionalism and her employer's reputation. While **Standard IV(A): Loyalty** requires members to act in their employer's best interest, working for the charity on weekends does not inherently violate this standard unless it conflicts with her duties at GI. However, the overcharging issue is a clear violation of **Standard I(D)**.
