Make an initial post regarding the Decision Ethics issue from page 113 of the textbook. As you consider this issue, keep the following scripture from Leviticus in mind. As part of your answer, thoughtfully explain how the verse helps guide our decision-making. Financial Officer At year-end, the president instructs you, the financial officer, not to record accrued expenses until next year because they will not be paid until then. The president also directs you to record in current-year sales a recent purchase order from a customer that requires merchandise to be delivered two weeks after the year-end. Your company would report a net income instead of a net loss if you carry out these instructions. What do you do? ■ "Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity. Use honest scales and honest weights, an honest ephah and an honest hin. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt." Leviticus 19:35-36 Additional posts may ask questions regarding concepts, problems, or assignments that you find difficult or confusing. You may find that a classmate has the information or insight to make things clear.

Adirondack Savings Bank (ASB) has $1 million in new funds that must be allocated to home loans, personal loans, and automobile loans. The annual rates of return for the three types of loans are 4% for home loans, 14% for personal loans, and 7% for automobile loans.
