arrangement? How much must Brooks pay back at maturity? How will Brooks account for the
difference between the cash received on the issue date and the amount paid back?
2. Brooks prefers to borrow for longer periods when interest rates are low and for shorter periods when
interest rates are high. Why is this a good business strategy?

Ethical Issue 12-1
Raffie’s Kids, a nonprofit organization that provides aid to victims of domestic violence, low-income
families, and special-needs children, has a 30-year, 5% mortgage on the existing building. The mortgage
requires monthly payments of $3,000. Raffie’s bookkeeper is preparing financial statements for the
board and, in doing so, lists the mortgage balance of $287,000 under current liabilities because the board
hopes to be able to pay the mortgage off in full next year. Of the mortgage principal, $20,000 will be
paid next year if Raffie’s pays according to the mortgage agreement. The board members call you, their
trusted CPA, to advise them on how Raffie’s Kids should report the mortgage on its balance sheet. What
is the ethical issue? Provide and discuss the reason for your recommendation.
SOLUTION
The ethical issue here is whether the full mortgage should be shown as a current liability. While Raffie’s
Fraud Case 12-1
Bill and Edna had been married two years and had just reached the point where they had enough savings
to start investing. Bill’s uncle Dave told them that he had recently inherited some very rare railroad
bonds from his grandmother’s estate. He wanted to help Bill and Edna get a start in the world and would
sell them 50 of the bonds at $100 each. The bonds were dated 1873, beautifully engraved, showing a
face value of $1,000 each. Uncle Dave pointed out that “United States of America” was printed
prominently at the top and that the U.S. government had established a sinking fund to retire the old
railroad bonds. A sinking fund is a fund established for the purpose of repaying the debt. It allows the
organization (the U.S. government, in this example) to set aside money over time to retire the bonds. All
Bill and Edna needed to do was hold on to them until the government contacted them, and they would
eventually get the full $1,000 for each bond. Bill and Edna were overjoyed—until a year later when they
saw the exact same bonds for sale at a coin and stamp shop priced as “collectors’ items” for $9.95 each!
