Week 1 EOC: Chapter 1, Question 3

Answers:
a. Is it legal?
If there was a policy in place forbidding to accept "gifts." See if there are laws/policies about accepting certain gifts in your state. "Sometimes it may not be clear whether an actual course of action is illegal or simply wrong." (pg. 18 Managerial Accounting for the Hospitality Industry.)

b. Does it hurt anyone? Yes, it hurts her reputation. Even though it was never said the free hot dogs were meant for the restaurants purpose.

c. Am I being honest? No, Laurie shouldve said something and been honest about the hot dogs she received.

d. Would I care if it happened to me? Yes, if laurie was the owner she wouldnt want her purchasing managers to accept gifts like that.

e. Would I publicize my action? No. Laurie used them for a BBQ that she probably wouldnt want her boss to find out about.


f. What should be done with the two cases of hot dogs? Kept for restaurant purposes. (Fundraiser) shouldnt be sold, since they are for sampling.
