Hi, I need help understanding these questions. Any example you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

1. Is it ethical to keep accounting earnings growing at a relatively steady pace in an effort to avoid large swings in earnings form period to period?
2. What are some tactics that a financial manager can use to manage earnings?
3. What are the implications for cash flow and shareholder wealth?
4. How can purchasing stocks and bonds impact earnings targets on the financial balance sheet?
