Jared Jones has started a screen printing business. Because he is a private company he has chosen
not to use accrual based on accounting. In January of 2017 he decides to go to the bank and ask for
a loan to finance the purchase of a large piece of machinery. He is able to show the bank a net
income of $75,000 for the year ending December 31, 2016. Based on his income, and debt to asset
ratio the bank is unable to give him the loan.
Jared goes back to the office and instructs his accountant to re-do the financial statements. This
time using accrual basis accounting. The accountant adds an additional $20,000 of revenue and net
income for a job that was performed at the end of December, and expected to be paid in January.
He also includes $20,000 on the balance sheet for accounts receivable, and $2,500 in accrued
expenses. With this new information Jared is able to get his loan.
Was it ethical for Jared to include the $20,000 in his net income? Why or why not?
