Answer: He should go with the ethically correct option which is not to mix the older produce with the newer one.

Explanation:

In ethical dilemmas especially ones involving business it is best to go for the ethically right option. Unethical decisions can give short term results but they are almost always caught out in the future meaning that the business faces ruin in the future. Using the cases of Enron and Worldcom as examples where the companies engaged in unethical accounting conduct that guaranteed short term success, their fall from grace showed that unethical decisions are not sustainable.

With this in mind he should not mix the produce for his business to survive because there is a high chance he will reject it in future.

Answer:

Yes, this is an ethical dilemma because no choice is 100% right or wrong, and both choices are basically undesirable and equally bad.

Explanation:

Eric has two options:

  1. Keep selling his products like he has been doing so far, i.e. not mixing older products with fresh products, but most probably will go bankrupt and will have to close his business.
  2. Start to save some money by mixing older products with fresh products and hopefully he will be able to save his business, but he will be cheating on his clients and that will eventually come back to bite him.

If he chooses option one, he will probably have to close his business, and if he chooses option two, he will be doing something bad that may eventually cause him to close down also.  

It is easy to say that Eric should do the right thing and sink with the ship, but what if your were Eric? There is an old Cheyenne saying "don't judge a man until you've walked two moons with his moccasins (shoes)".

Eric needs to balance out what is best for him and what is the correct thing to do, and if possible try to come up with a third alternative that isn't so disastrous.

Explanation:

The Financial Statement effects of each transaction is a reflection of how each transaction affects at least two opposite elements of the financial statement.  Every transaction affects the elements of the financial statement in one way or another, which enables the accounting equation to remain in balance.

For example, a transaction may increase the assets and also increase either the liabilities or equity side of the balance sheet.

In our example, the transactions affected only the balance sheet.  This means that each transaction increases or decreases the assets, liabilities, or equity sections.

Mrs. Tolstoy and her husband, Serge, are planning their dream house. The lot for the house sits high on a hill with a beautiful
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

$299,280

Explanation:

If the Tolstoys purchased the house they would pay on average $120 per sq ft x 2,900 sq ft = $348,000

If Mr. installs the plumbing and Mrs. Tolstoy decorates the house, they can save 10% (plumbing and installing plumbing fixtures) and 4% (interior decorating) = 14% of the cost

So the Tolstoys can save = $348,000 x 14% = $48,720

the cost of the house = $348,000 - $48,720 = $299,280
