Chapter 9, Problem 1ED
Borrowing from Petty Cash
Daniel Brown is in charge of the $250 petty cash for Metro Auto Repair service. When an employee needs a special part that is not in inventory, Daniel takes money from petty cash to buy the part. One day Daniel is short of cash and needs some lunch money. He decides to borrow $10 that he will pay back on payday in three days. Daniel continues this practice for three days for a total of $30. He does not have enough to pay the petty cash back. When he reconciles the petty cash, he records this $30 as cash short/over expense. This is the first time he has done it. Is this an ethical action? What should Daniel do to fix this problem if there is one?

Timothy Carter went out to eat with his girlfriend at a fancy restaurant. When he tried to pay the bill with his Mastercard credit card, he was told that the
restaurant accepted only cash or American Express. His waiter suggested that he use the ATM across the street to withdraw cash using his credit card. Tim
did as suggested and didn't pay attention to any fees until he received his credit card statement one month later. He was shocked to see the total fees (3.5
percent cash advance), and his APR was increased to 20.0 %. Given the cost of the meal ($150) plus the associated fees, how much did his meal cost him?
