Task #1
Students are always asking for help calculating their final grades at Top Notch Students school. In order
to help them out we are going to make a program. We have implemented a policy where the student
can get an extra 5% added for perfect attendance and no late assignments, an extra 2.5% if they have 1
or 2 absences or no late assignments. If they have 4 or more absences in a semester then they
automatically fail the course. The grading scheme is as follows - 80 -100 is an A, 70-80 is a B, 60 - 70 is a
C, 50-60 is a D and anything below that is an F. Note that 80 is an A, while 79.99 is a B.

Exercise 4: Ethics in Decision Making
Assume that you are the chairman of the Department of Accountancy at
Mountain State University. One of the accounting professors in your
department, Dr. Cruz, has been consistently and uniformly regarded by
students as an awful teacher for more than 10 years. Other accounting
professors within your department have observed Dr. Cruz's classroom
teacher and they concur that his teaching skills are very poor. However, Dr.
Cruz was granted tenure 12 years ago, thereby ensuring him life-long job
security at Mountain State University.
Much to your surprise, today you received a phone call from an accounting
professor at University of Eastern Philippines. During this phone call you are
informed that the University is on the verge of making a job offer to Dr.
Cruz. However, before extending the job offer, the faculty at the University
wants your input regarding Dr. Cruz's teaching effectiveness while at
Mountain State University.

Debitus, a calendar year company, publishes textbooks that are used in colleges and universities across the country. These textbooks are purchased by students through their campus bookstores. Debitus normally makes its biggest sales at the beginning of the fall semester. In the past, Debitus has always recorded sales returns in the spring semester when the campus bookstores return any unsold textbooks. This has been satisfactory because the returns have been immaterial in amount. In 2018, as a promotional strategy to stimulate sales, Debitus began offering bookstores a reduced price if they ordered more textbooks. There is no penalty for returns of these textbooks if the bookstores cannot sell them to customers. This strategy worked; sales increased by 10% during 2018.
