Throughout this course, you will respond to three "Focus on Ethics" cases--one per exam cycle. These cases are found at the end of the chapter before the Chapter Summary. For each case, please post your response to this discussion forum, using the following questions as a guide:

• What is the central ethical conflict in this case?
• How would you have responded to the conflict in question?
• What complications or "gray areas" do you identify?

In addition, throughout the course, please monitor your peers' posts. You must respond to at least three peer posts: one per exam cycle. For each peer response, please craft a substantial post that expands upon or questions your peer's response.

During this second exam cycle, you have three Ethics Cases to choose from in making your Discussion Post and Comment. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 in your text contain ethical dilemmas that are directly related to business and accounting fields. These can be found on the following pages in your textbook:

• Chapter 5: Conflict of Interest: Ethical Challenges in Making Product Changes (Page 198)
• Chapter 6: Cisco, Walmart, Taco Bell, Starbucks, Uhaul, General Dynamics and Farmers Insurance: Is Direct Labor a Variable Cost? (Page 259)
• Chapter 8: Incentive to Overproduce Inventory (Page 353)
