Baker Products Shipped an Order to a Customer on the Second

question 110

True/False

Baker products shipped an order to a customer on the second day of January. Later that day, the sales manager told the accountant to record the sale as if it had taken place on the last day of December. This would allow the company to book the sales revenue in the year just ended and boost year-end profit. Because the transaction was a legitimate sale, the alteration of the date of sale alone would not be considered unethical.
