The new system is able to measure post-manufacturing activities, such as selling, promotional, and distribution activities, and allocate these activities to products in a manner that provides a more complete view of the companys product costs. This system produces better strategic information about the relative profitability of product lines. In the course of implementing the new costing system, the controller realized that the companys current-period GAAP net income would increase significantly if the new product cost information were used for inventory valuation on the financial statements. The controller has been under intense pressure to improve the companys net income, and this would be an easy and effective way for her to help meet the companys short-term net income goals. As a result, she has decided to use the new costing system to determine GAAP net income. Why does the companys net income increase when the new costing system is applied? Is the controller acting ethically by using the new costing system for GAAP net income?
