- Boxes-and-Stuff, a box-packing and mailing company in a small town along the Gulf Coast, lost a key employee last month when its accounting manager was fired for embezzling company money. Now, the owners of Boxes-and-Stuff, Jerome and Natalia, need to find another accounting manager—fast. But as they hurry to fill the position, they don’t want to select a dishonest or incompetent employee. They need to be cautious. Fortunately, the police chief found the embezzled funds in a bank account set up by the former employee and authorized the return of the money.

- The Reeves twins are in the yard maintenance business. They want to start doing snow removal during the winter season because they practically don't have any yards to maintain. The twins are trying to determine how much equipment they need to purchase. The twins plan to do most of the work themselves and then hire some part-time workers on an individual job basis to help out. The twins gathered some data on past weather. Based on the information, they predict that there will be six big snowstorms in the coming winter. Most of their clients want the snow removed no more than two days after the snow stops falling. If the twins work for 10 hours a day, they can remove the snow from the driveway of a home in about 1 hour. However, for commercial parking lots and public sidewalks, it will take 4 hours. The variable cost per job is $12 for home driveways and $47 for commercial parking lots.

- Michael just graduated with a degree in Accounting from State University. He worked hard in school but could only achieve a 2.95 GPA because he worked 40 hours a week to pay his own way through college. Unfortunately, Michael was unable to get a job because the recruiters all had a 3.0 GPA cut-off point. Michael stayed with his college job for another year but is anxious to start his public accounting career. One day he reads about a job opening with a local CPA firm. The entry-level position pays little but it’s a way for Michael to get his foot in the door. However, he knows there will be candidates for the position with a higher GPA than his so he is thinking about using his overall GPA, which was 3.25 including two years of community college studies, rather than his major GPA and the GPA at State, even though the advertisement asks for these two GPAs.
