You are an accountant in the purchasing department of a construction company. When you arrive home from work on December $22,$ you find a large ham in a box marked $$Happy Holidays $$ It$$s a pleasure to work with you.$$ The gift is from a supplier who has a bid on a contract your employer plans to award next week.

Should you accept the gift from the construction company? Identify the ethical issue, the stakeholders, and analyze the consequences of the action.
