Below is a business dilemma that has ethical dimensions.
Ruby is a sales person that sells educational multimedia products for her employer. When she reaches $2,000,000 in sales she will receive a $20,000 bonus. Susie wants the bonus to use as a down payment on her dream home. Towards the end of the accounting period, she is $2,000 short of her goal. An inner city school, where the students currently have to share textbooks, would like to purchase the products, but it does not have the funds to do so. Ruby is considering giving the school $2,000 to purchase the products from her, so she can reach her sales goals and get her $20,000 bonus. Is this ethical?
