- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?arrow_forwardScenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

You are valuing a 10-acre vacant lot with a septic system and a well on site. The size adjustment factor for 10 acres is 2.23. You have found two recent sales to use as comparables. -Sale 1 is 3.5 acres in size and has a septic system and a well on site. It sold for $200,000. The corresponding size adjustment factor for 3.5 acres is 1.57. -Sale 2 is 7 acres in size and sold for $225,000. However, it does not have a septic system or a well, which will cost $50,000 total to install. The corresponding size adjustment factor for 7 acres is 1.93.

Jack said, “Would you like to use my empty office?” Joy replied, “Yes, that would be great! Thank you so much.” The next day, Joy moved into the office with all of her “stuff.” Her“stuff” consisted of aromatherapy and within a day it was giving Jack a headache. Jack didn’t say anything and just suffered through it as he figured he could use the extra income from rent. At the end of the month, Jack provided to Joy an Invoice for $400 which, historically, has been the rent for that office. Joy came running in to see Jack to exclaim, “What!? I didn’t know I had to pay that much. I can pay $200 and that’s it.” Jack said, “Ok, as long as you have the money to me by this Friday and you provide to me six months…arrow_forward
