James works for a marketing company and went on a business trip to London. Before leaving, his employer asked him how long the job would take. James, knowing he had only 4 days worth of work, told his company he needed a full week. While James did pay for all of his personal expenses incurred during the last 3 days of the trip, he did not reimburse his company for the extra $410 spent on his hotel room. Upon his return, James signed an expense report verifying that everything charged to the company was business related.

John works for a marketing company and has decided to purchase the latest edition of a software package. He remembers that when he was a student the price for the software was really cheap. When he arrives at the computer store, he discovers that the regular price is $410 more than the student price. Realizing that he still has his old student ID in his wallet, he tells the store employee that he is a student, shows his old ID, signs the student status declaration, and purchases the software at the student price.
