Chapter 2: Q1EI (page 117)

Better Days Ahead, a charitable organization, has a standing agreement with First National Bank. The agreement allows Better Days Ahead to overdraw its cash balance at the bank when donations are running low. In the past, Better Days Ahead managed funds wisely and rarely used this privilege. Jacob Henson has recently become the president of Better Days Ahead. To expand operations, Henson acquired office equipment and spent large amounts on fundraising. During Henson鈥檚 presidency, Better Days Ahead has maintained a negative bank balance of approximately $10,000.

What is the ethical issue in this situation, if any?

State why you approve or disapprove of Henson鈥檚 management of Better Days Ahead鈥檚 funds.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The decision is ethical if the bank allows and it is unethical when a bank does not allow for any overdraft. The decision will get approval only when gives consent and disapproval when a bank does not give approval.

Step by step solution

01

Ethical or not

This situation could be ethical or not; this depends on the clause of the bank determining the overdrafts. If the bank has the clause of agreeing to the overdrafts, then the decision of Mr. Henson is ethical.

If the bank allows overdraft only in the case of a crisis, then the decision of Mr. Henson will be unethical.

02

Approval or disapproval

If the bank allows the overdraft knowing that the business could deliver more income in the future, then the decisions are approved. If the bank does not approve, then decisions will get disapproval.
