Comparing the answers in requirements 2 and 3, it appears that operating income is higher than
expected, so the management of KC Corporation would be very pleased with the performance of
the salespeople for reducing order costs. Except for DC, all of the customers are more profitable
than originally reported.

5. The behavior of the salespeople is costing KC Corporation $588 in profit (the difference
between the incomes in requirements 3 and 4.) Although management thinks the salespeople
are saving money based on the budgeted order costs, in reality they are costing the firm money
by increasing the costs of orders ($1,028 in requirement 3 versus $930 in requirement 4) and
at the same time increasing their sales commissions ($1,110 in requirement 3 versus $620 in
requirement 4). This is not ethical.
KC Corporation needs to change the structure of the sales commission, possibly linking
commissions to the overall units sold rather than on number of orders.
Some students might argue that the amount is not material, but in matters of ethics be wary of
the slippery slope. Most organizations do not stand for any deviation from ethical principles,
regardless of the amount involved. Students can engage in an interesting debate around this
point.
