Question

Question 6 (-10.5 John said. "I need 51,000,000 in sales to get my bonus and I only have $800,000. I'm going to ask ABC Company to buy $200,000 from me in December so I can get my bonus and then I'll let them return the goods in January so they can get their money back." Mary said, "Isn't that stealing from the company?" is John ethical? It's ok if the boss doesn't find out Question 7 -- 70,5 The company signed a contract with the State of Texas. Texas agreed to pay the salaries of three people including two weeks of vacation for each employee. There's 52 weeks in a year so that means Texas would pay for 50 x 3 =150 weeks of work and 3 x 2-6 weeks of vacation, John had already used up his two weeks of vacation when his son was in an auto accident and needed an operation, Mary said, "I'll work an extra week for free and let John have one of my weeks of vacation so he can go be with his son." If Mary's boss agrees to this, choose two statements that would be correct The state paid for 6 weeks of vacation and that is what was specified in the contract. Texas would be cheated (3) The state paid for 150 weeks of work and they got 150 weeks of work, The boss should tell John he will not be paid for any time he takes off.

Answer 1

As a rule, only one (1) question can be answered at a time. In case no specific question is requested (maximum of 1), then the first questions is itself only answered.

Question 6: Is John ethical ?

Appropriate response: (2) No

Justification:
Being ethical is abstaining from committing any act that would be morally wrong. Being ethical is doing the right thing even when no one is watching or irrespective of the fact that no one will find out.
In the given scenario, John is cheating the company for his selfish gain. Therefore, he is not ethical.
Whether or not the boss finds out, his actions are still morally wrong.
