Burchill Consultants is a global consulting firm. The firm has a travel policy that reimburses employees for the "ordinary and necessary" costs of business travel and reimburses business-class airfare for international and "long" domestic flights. Associates at the firm often mix a business trip with pleasure by either extending the time at the destination or traveling from the business destination to a nearby resort or other personal destination. When this happens, an allocation must be made between the business and personal portions of the trip, so that only the business portion is reimbursed. However, the travel policy is unclear on the allocation method to follow. Consider this example. An employee obtained a business-class ticket for $8,557 and traveled the following itinerary.

When June and Jerry started their business, Kingbird Inc., their mission was simple: to provide a quiet, round-trip ride to hundreds of office workers so they could work during the commute. At the beginning, they had enough capacity to accommodate all interested customers. But as this idea gained popularity, there was demand they couldn't meet-and not just by commuters, but also by travelers heading to and from the airport. June and Jerry organized their growing business into geographical segments, evaluating each on its operating income and profit margin. The two owners retained control of asset purchases. June and Jerry still intended for their segment managers to work together, helping each other with capacity needs when required. Such participation was left up to the segment managers, though.

Focus on ethics (Note: This case is based on an actual situation.) Stan Sewell paid $50000 for a franchise that entitled him to market software programs in the countries of the European Union. Sewell intended to sell individual franchises for the major language groups of Western Europe-German, French, English, Spanish and Italian. Naturally, investors considering buying a franchise from Sewell asked to see the financial statements of his business. Believing the value of the franchise to be $500000, Sewell sought to capitalise his own franchise at $500000.
