He is planning to conceal from his customers the true practices of overhead calculation. This kind of concealment is unethical, because customers are being deceived in terms of costing procedures. The only reason why this will not be questioned is because it is being concealed in a private set of books.
Furthermore Fred does have a choice. His solution is blatantly unethical in the face of Sarah's solution, which is both ethical and financially sound.

interventionism from the perspective of realism vs. idealism. Realism is defined in relationship to states' national interests whereas idealism is defined in relation to the UN's Responsibility to Protect doctrine -- a doctrine heavily influenced by Western rhetoric over the past decade. By addressing the question of interventionism from this standpoint, by way of a case study of Libya and Syria, a picture of the realistic implications of "humanitarian
