Mooresville Hills Trading Company’s most recent financial statements showed dismal
performance. There was a net loss of $10,000 and the statement of cash flows showed a net cash
decrease in all categories. The company president called all the managers together and asked
them to do all they could to make sure the next quarter’s performance was better.
Mindy Ross, manager of the manufacturing division, sold off old manufacturing equipment. He
also reclassified several workers to part-time (30 hours per week) and hired additional temporary
workers to take up the slack. This saved the company money, since part-time workers do not have
the same insurance and other benefits as full-time workers.
William Bowden, financial manager, immediately suspended payments on all accounts except
those on which interest would accrue. He also instituted aggressive collection procedures.
Required:
1. Were Mindy Ross’s actions ethical? Explain.
2. Were William Bowden’s actions ethical? Explain.
3. Were the company president‘s actions ethical? Explain.
