You've just graduated from Berkeley College with a major in accounting and have landed your first accounting job. Your assignment at work today is to complete a Trial Balance. No matter what you do, you just can't get it to balance and you're off by $2500. You have a 5pm deadline for completion of the Financial Statements, which must be delivered to the bank this evening to comply with a major loan agreement. It's now 3:30 and you're worried that if you don't get these statements done, it will cost you your job. You decide to increase the owner's capital account by $2500 to get everything to balance and you complete the Financial Statements in time. You hope that no one will notice the error and you believe that you will be able to find and correct the error by the end of next month. Are your actions ethical? Why or why not? Did you have any other alternatives?
