Final answer:

Corporate affairs that are already publicly available or widely disseminated, such as information about a firm's products, revenues, costs, and profits known by outside investors, would not be considered inside information if shared with a Registered Representative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to the concept of inside information within a corporate setting. Inside information refers to non-public, material information about a company that could influence an investor's decision to buy or sell securities. Some examples of inside information might include significant changes within the company such as mergers and acquisitions, financial results before they are released, new product launches, or legal issues that could impact the company's financials. However, as a firm becomes more established and information about its products, revenues, costs, and profits is more widely disseminated, this knowledge becomes less exclusive and hence may not be considered inside information any longer. Specifically, publicly available information about the company's financial health, which is shared with outside investors like bondholders and shareholders, cannot be considered inside information since it is already known to the market.

Therefore, one example of corporate affairs that would not be considered inside information if shared with a Registered Representative (RR) would be information that is already publicly available or widely disseminated about the company's performance and business activities that are known by outside investors who do not have a personal knowledge of the firm's managers.
