ACCTBA1 INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS CASE

1st Term, Academic Year 2016-2017

Philippine reprint edition. John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd.
Geoff Rhee, a sophomore student at a Philippine-based university, applied for a sixmonth student exchange program at two universities in Singapore. After passing the
rigorous screening process at both universities, he received an invitation for
interview at the sponsoring universities. Both universities offered to cover his
expenses (travel, hotel accommodation, and meals). He scheduled the interview for
both universities on the same day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. At
the conclusion of each interview, he submitted a photocopy of the receipts for the
following: round-trip regular economy airfare USD 400; hotel accommodation for
two days and one night (including airport transfer and buffet breakfast) 0f USD 330;
meals and transportation to university from hotel and vice versa SGD 50 for a total
of USD 766. Geoff believes this approach is appropriate. If he had made two trips,
his cost would have been tricew as much. He is also certain that neither university
knew he had visited the other on that same trip. Within 10 days, Geoff received two
checks in the mail, each for the amount of USD 766. (Note: USD US dollar; SGD
Singapore dollar; 1 USD = Php47.80; 1 SGD = Php 35.07)
