As its year-end approaches, it appears that Ortiz Corporation's net income will increase 10% this year. The president of Ortiz Corporation, nervous that the stockholders might expect the company to sustain this 10% growth rate in net income in future years, suggests that the controller increase the allowance for doubtful accounts to 4% of receivables in order to lower this year's net income. The president thinks that the lower net income, which reflects a 6% growth rate, will be a more sustainable rate of growth for Ortiz Corporation in future years. The controller of Ortiz Corporation believes that the company's yearly allowance for doubtful accounts should be 2% of receivables.
Instructions
a) Who are the stakeholders in this case?
b) Does the president's request pose an ethical dilemma for the controller?
