<h3><u>Changes considered to reduce the cost of the project: </u></h3>
Cost Estimates of a Residential Design have the following elements:
1) Quantity Takeoff
2) Labor Hours
3) Labor Rates
4) Material Prices
5) Equipment Costs
6) Subcontractor Quotes
7) Indirect Costs
8) Profit Margin
Quantity Takeoff is the very basic element required in Residential Building. Labor hours and rates depends on the location, work difficulty, market value, and other extrinsic factors. Material prices and Subcontractor Quotes again depends on location, supply and demand. Equipment Costs depends on the location, place of purchase, transportation cost, size of equipment, etc. Indirect costs are overheads for labor and contractors.
As we can check the above elements, we cannot change Quantity takeoff, as no one wants to compromise in the quality. However, we can try to slightly negotiate with Labor rates and Subcontractor Quotes. Again, as mentioned the budget is significantly high, so we need to work on reducing 2 costs, which are Equipment Costs and Material Prices.

Answer: Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Sarah who is the controller of a large beverage supplier, supervises two employees and that her boss, Vladimir, told her to increase the company's inventory balance for an amount that is material to the financial statements by crediting several small "miscellaneous" expense accounts.
We are further told that Sarah does not know the reason behind this but told one of her staff to make them because she has been instructed to do so.
We can see that Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue. She didn't evaluate the effect of what she is doing. In this case, what her boss told her to do could be a case of fraud and she just obliged without asking questions which will put her conscience at ease in case anything happens but the fact that she just did it without asking questions or thinking if what she has done is morally right or wrong, it shows that Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue.
