The controller of Gomez Corporation believes that company's yearly allowance for doubtful accounts should be 2% of net credit sales. The president of Gomez Corporation, nervous that the stockholders might expect the company to sustain its 10% growth rate, suggests that the controller increase the allowance for doubtful accounts to 4%. The president thinks that the lower net income, which reflects a 6% growth rate, will be a more sustainable rate for Gomez Corporation.
Question:

AFTER you have done this, then go on to answer (a) - (c).
(a) Who are the stakeholders in this case?
(b) Does the president's request pose an ethical dilemma for the controller?
