Les Pulaski, the supervisor of a new division of Innovation Corporation, received annual bonus based upon the number of sales that exceeds the breakeven point of the company (Crosson & Needles, 2014). She was given bonus for the mentioned year as well. But, a review of the sales for that year confirmed that 7,500 units were returned by the customer to the company.
