Your Unit Has Not Been Able to Meet Its Sales

question 177

True/False

Your unit has not been able to meet its sales goals for your quarter.

When the goods are returned, you would simply take the returns in the next quarter after you have had more of an opportunity to meet goals. Your assistant's suggestion is a breach of ethics.
