Ethical dilemmas have always surrounded businesses. For example, Jeffrey is a Senior Auditor working for a large commercial bank. He just realized Bob, the company’s vice president of marketing, has been using his expense account to purchase salacious materials online using his office computer; in addition, there are hotel bills charged to the account that cannot be explained by travel receipts. Jeffrey suspects the VP is having an affair with someone in the company. Jeffery is a CPA and the company where he works is publically traded. The CPA code-of-ethics and company policy requires Jeffrey to report the violation. Nevertheless, Bob is Jeffrey’s first cousin! Reporting the violation could destroy relations between Jeffrey’s mother and his aunt, Bob’s mother. What can Jeffrey do as a senior auditor to set the ethical standards in the company that he is working in? Which of the ethical theories best explains Jeffrey’s moral dilemma? How can one of the six theories you learned about in this chapter help Jeffrey to justify whistle blowing or help him to rationalize not whistle blowing?

Create an Excel spreadsheet that will generate random numbers based on the following probability distributions. You can keep the answers to (a) (b) and (c) on the same spreadsheet. If I click on F9 key, the random numbers must be refreshed.
a. Use Excel generic function to generate randomly 50 observations following a general discrete distribution described in the table below. To keep things compact, you don’t need to put the 50 random numbers down one column, instead put them in rectangle region (e.g., 5 columns by 10 rows or 10 columns by 5 rows).
| X | P(X=x) |
| 4 | 0.1 |
| 7 | 0.15 |
| 12 | 0.40 |
| 15 | 0.20 |
| 20 | 0.15 |
b. Use Excel generic function to randomly generate 10 observations following a normal distribution with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 15, and use ROUND() to round these random numbers to the nearest integer.
c. Use Excel generic function to randomly generate 10 observations following a symmetric triangular distribution (50, 65, 80), and use ROUND() to round these random numbers to the nearest integer.
