Your employer, Megan Manufacturing, has asked you to negotiate the sale of certain tangible fixed assets to a German company. When you were discussing this sale, Kyle, the German company's representative, mentioned that he was a huge fan of a German national soccer team. You also are a loyal fan of this same team because its star player is from your home country of Jordan. As a result, you attended this team's soccer game together.
a. Do you now have a conflict of interest in negotiating this sale?
b. Would you have a conflict of interest if Kyle paid $300 to buy your ticket to the game?
c. Would you have a conflict of interest if Kyle bought you a beer at the game, but you each bought your own tickets?
