However, Chariot lost many billions of dollars more despite the fact that it was able to make automobiles faster using the robots. Why would this happen? What could have caused this situation? Explain.
If management accountants don't have to follow GAAP in their reporting and have the freedom of more customized reporting, are ethics still important? Explain. Do research and post summaries of your findings.
