Steinbach & Sons Accounting
Steinbach & Sons Case
Accounting Implications
The adjusting process that this case alludes to occurs both on the income statements as well as the balance sheet. The adjustment that will affect the income statement is:
$2,000 dollar sales of furniture to family members
Added to the gross revenues ( + $2,000)
The adjustments that will affect the balance sheet are:
$900 Wages owed to employees
This would be added to the short-term liabilities account ( + $900)
$400 Prepaid Insurance that Expired
This would be debited for the asset account ( - $400)
The additional revenue can be added to the profit and loss statement and be added to the gross revenue figure. The nine hundred dollars owed to employees will increase the liabilities account if properly adjusted. The prepaid insurance would count as an asset if not adjusted, however since it has expired if it was properly adjusted then it should be removed as short-term asset.
Ethical Implications
The owner of Steinbach & Sons is undoubtedly trying to make their financial statements look better or basically pad them so that they will be in a better position to obtain financing from a lending institution. Not only is this immoral, but it is quite reasonably illegal. It is unethical because they are purposefully trying to misrepresent their real financial situation which can be considered a form of fraud and potentially subject to prosecution. The economic implications to the lending institution can be thought of in terms of asymmetric information, which would increase and thus put the bank at an increased level of risk.
If I were a friend of the family I would recommend that they not pursue such accounting gimmicks. In all reality, the chance of being caught would probably fairly slim. However, the implications could be great if they did get caught by the bank or possibly the tax agencies. Therefore it is really not worth the risk; especially just for a few thousand dollars.

Sons Arthur's view of America Arthur Miller was one of those few playwrights whose view of the U.S. was anything but optimistic or positive. Most of his plays take place in the heart of American industrial hubs so capitalism was always the most dominant theme. It is a place that belongs to an average American and that every American can relate to. Instead of using western end or eastern end of
According to the concept of homoousion, Christ the Son was consubstantial (sharing the same substance) with the Father." (Gill, 2006) Only then was it resolved that although Jesus was the Son of God, the unique nature of Jesus as Son meant that Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit all were won. The interpretation of the term "Son of God" continues to divide Judaism from Christianity, theologically and linguistically,
Loyalty to the client was clearly placed above loyalty to the overall public good and the standards of the profession. "Enron paid Andersen $25 million for its audit…and $27 million for 'consulting' and other services" which meant that Anderson had a substantial financial stake in retaining Enron as a client (Kadlec 2002). The Enron case illustrates the difficulty of self-policing within the industry. Today, providing additional services besides the
