Answer:

There are no options listed, but what I can tell you for sure is that John's actions were both unethical and illegal.

What John did is unethical because it is not moral and it goes against all the principles that guide professional conduct. John also did something illegal because he was an accomplice in committing fraud against the company. He knowingly benefited from the accountant's illegal actions, and that is basically the legal definition of an accomplice to a crime.

faust18 [17]

Answer:

There are at least 2 opportunity costs associated with of letting your colleague have another month:

  1. if you invested in the oil-well venture, you could have earned $5,100 x 36% = $1,836 in one year
  2. if you invested in the new IT stock, you could have earned $5,100 x 48% = $2,448 in one year

You could invest in one of these options, or divide your money and invest in both options, e.g. invest $2,000 in the oil company and $3,000 in the IT company. Each different investment proportion results in a different opportunity cost.

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs associated to carrying out an investment or activity instead of another alternative. Sometimes you might have several opportunity costs for one investment, e.g. invest in the IT company which is risky, invest in corporate bonds which is less risky or invest in US securities which is a safe investment.
