36) Jason Gorni, the president and CEO of Better Earth, Inc., a waste management firm,
was recently hospitalized, suffering from exhaustion and a heart ailment. Immediately
prior to his hospitalization, Better Earth had experienced a sharp decline in its stock
price, and trading activity became almost nonexistent. The primary reason for this was
concern expressed in the media over a new untested waste management system
implemented by the company. Mr. Gomi had been unwilling to submit the procedure to
testing before implementation, but he reluctantly agreed to limited tests after the system
was operational. No problems have been identified by the tests to date.
The other members of management called a meeting to determine what they should do.
Sean Casey, the marketing manager, suggested that the company purchase a large
number of shares of treasury stock. In that way, investors might notice that activity had
picked up, and might decide to buy some more shares. This plan would use up most of
the company's available cash, so that there will be no money available for a cash
dividend. Better Earth has paid cash dividends every quarter for over ten years.
Required:
1>Is Mr. Caseys suggestion ethical? Explain.
2>Is it ethical to discontinue the cash dividend? Explain.
