To help stimulate sales and operating efficiency, Marco Inc. recently instituted a profit- sharing bonus agreement for its employees, including top management. Management negotiated the plan because employees have gone without raises for several years. The agreement bases employee bonuses on unaudited net income for the past year because of the need to adjust employees' salaries at the beginning of each year. However, management will adjust future bonuses for any audit adjustments made after the bonuses are set based on unaudited data. The firm sets a bonus pool based on five percent of operating income, which limits the total available to pay bonuses. Management bases individual bonuses on an employee's position, length of service, and certain specific negotiated terms with individual officers.

The inventory represents computers that we were unable to sell during the holiday buying season. We are confident, however, that we will be able to sell these computers as we move into the next fiscal year. Sandra: What gives you this confidence? Travis: We will increase our advertising and provide some very attractive price concessions to move these machines. We have no choice.
