Let me introduce you to Arlene, Boyd, Charlie, and Danielle. They signed up for a course in managerial economics and they have decided to offer you advice on the right answers to questions. This will work as follows:

First, I give you a question or scenario where you have to decide on an answer. You read it.

Second, take a look at the four answers given by our four intrepid students. Each will offer analysis of the question or scenario.

Third, decide which analyst you think has given the best answer. Choose that answer as your own!

The best answer will get full points. Usually, other answers may receive partial credit, though not all of them!

With that in mind, here is your first scenario!

The Japanese Navy in World War II needed to send reinforcements from Rabaul to Lae. They had a choice. They could sail their troop ships around the island of New Britain on the north side, through the Bismarck Sea, or they could sail on the south side through the Solomon Sea. The American forces know this as well, and must decide whether to deploy scouts to the north (Bismarck Sea) or the south (Solomon Sea). The sailing takes three days either way, but there is rain on the north side of the island, so it would take a day for the Americans to find the fleet.

If the Americans scout north and Japan sails north, the Americans will spend a day finding the Japanese and will get two days of bombing. If the Americans scout south and the Japanese sail north, the Americans will lose a day and only get one day of bombing. The weather is clearer on the south. If the Japanese sail south and the Americans scout north, the Americans get two days of bombing since they lose a day. If the Americans scout south, however, they will get three days of bombing. What should the Japanese commander do? How about the American? Briefly explain.

Each of our analysts offers you an answer. Choose the one you think is best.

Question 3 options:

Arlene has modeled the situation with a matrix game. Based on her analysis, she believes that the United States has a dominant strategy of sending the scouts north, and with that in mind she believes it does not matter whether Japan sails north or south, since there will then be two days of bombing either way. Japan could essentially flip a coin!

B)	Boyd disagrees with Arlene and thinks that the United States has a dominant strategy to scout south, while Japan has a dominant strategy to sail south. They should both choose south and there will then be three days of bombing.

C)	Charlie has decided that both Arlene and Boyd are wrong, and that the United States does not have a dominant strategy at all. Charlie does, however, think Japan has a dominant strategy of sailing north. Based on that, the United States should scout north and there will be two days of bombing.

Danielle doesn't think anyone has a dominant strategy. She has instead identified Japan sailing north and the United States scouting south as a saddle point and therefore as the correct result, with one day of bombing. Unfortunately (for Americans, anyway), that's the best the United States can guarantee.

Jackson Daniels graduated from Lynchberg State College two years ago. Since graduating from the college, he has worked in the accounting department of Lynchberg Manufacturing. Daniels was recently asked to prepare a sales budget for the year 2011. He conducted a thorough analysis and came out with projected sales of 250,000 units of product. That represents a 25 percent increase over 2010. Daniels went to lunch with his best friend, Jonathan Walker, to celebrate the completion of his first solo job. Walker noticed Daniels seemed very distant. He asked what the matter was. Daniels stroked his chin, ran his hand through his bushy, black hair, took another drink of scotch, and looked straight into the eyes of his friend of 20 years. âJon, I think I made a mistake with the budget.â âWhat do you mean?â Walker answered. âYou know how we developed a new process to manufacture soaking tanks to keep the ingredients fresh?â âYes,â Walker answered. âWell, I projected twice the level of sales for that product than will likely occur.â âAre you sure?â Walker asked. âI checked my numbers. I'm sure. It was just a mistake on my part,â Daniels replied. âSo, what are you going to do about it?â asked Walker. âI think I should report it to Pete. He's the one who acted on the numbers to hire additional workers to produce the soaking tanks,â Daniels said. âWait a second,â Walker said. âHow do you know there won't be extra demand for the product? You and I both know demand is a tricky number to project especially when a new product comes on the market. Why don't you sit back and wait to see what happens?â âBut what happens if I'm right and the sales numbers were wrong? What happens if the demand does not increase beyond what I now know to be the correct projected level?â Daniels asks. âWell, you can tell Pete about it at that time. Why raise a red flag now when there may be no need?â Walker states. As the lunch comes to a conclusion, Walker pulls Daniels aside and says, âJack, this could mean your job. If I were in your position I'd protect my own interests first.â Questions 1. What should an employee do when he or she discovers that there is an error in a projection? Why do you suggest that action? Would your answer change if the error was not likely to affect other aspects of the operation such as employment? Why or why not? 2. Identify the stakeholders potentially affected by what Daniels decides to do. How might each stakeholder be affected by Daniels's action and decision? Use ethical reasoning to support your answer. 3. Assume Daniels is both a CPA and holds the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) certification granted by the IMA. Use the ethical standards of these two organizations to identify what Daniels should do in this situation.
