Real-Life Decision Making -- Solution
You recommend keeping the restaurant the way it is.
This option would save the owner money because there would be no need to
expand the restaurant, and hire extra staff and train them. It would guarantee
the owner of the restaurant a steady net income because the clientele would
not change.
However, there is also a good chance that the people who cannot get in
to the restaurant right now may take their business elsewhere. This option,
in many ways, would ignore the basic laws of supply and demand.
Whether or not accounting technicians give advice like this to clients
depends on their particular role. If they work closely with one client, they're
more likely to be asked for advice.
For Katherine Culligan, who works for a City finance department, her role
is mainly to provide information to others who then analyze that information
and make recommendations and decisions. "We assist the financial director
and the assistant finance director," she says. "Sometimes our input is asked,
but generally we prepare information to assist the finance director."
