You are managing the renovation of the old princeton landing bar and grill. the project is on schedule despite receiving a late shipment of paint. the paint was supposed to arrive on 1/30, but instead arrived on 2/1. the assistant store manager apologizes profusely for the delay and asks if you would be willing to sign the acceptance form and backdate it to 1/30. he says he won't qualify for a bonus that he has worked hard to meet for the past month if the shipment is reported late. he promises to make it up to you on future projects. what would you do and why?

Students will probably differ on what to do. Some will contend that since the deferral did not influence the venture it is alright to back date the acknowledgment charge. They will contend by doing favors you are building social capital that may prove to be useful not far off. Others will just consider this to be a honesty issue and inaccurately marking the report is wrong.This is a tricky issue since one method for building IOUs is to look the other way or twist the tenets. Still the way that you are marking your name implies you are not just looking the other way.
