You Are a Management Accountant for Savage Corporation

Essay

You are a management accountant for Savage Corporation. Gabe Hopen, the sales representative for one of Savage suppliers, invited you to attend a professional sporting event. Because you are an avid sports fan, you accepted Gabe's invitation.
At the sporting event, Gabe begins talking about Savage's upcoming contract renewals with suppliers. Because there is intense competition and because it is the first bid he will submit to Savage Corporation, he asks you to review his bid to make sure "it is good enough" before he submits it to the company. In addition, because you are knowledgeable about costs, especially regarding this contract, he asks you to tell him if his bid is "in the ballpark" or "needs improvement." he indicates that if he wins the contract, you will be provided with season tickets for the rest of the year.
Considering the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Management Accountants, how would you respond to Gabe's request?
