Answer to Question 1

Vestige, Inc. is unethical in misrepresenting its financial position. The note is a current liability, not a long-term liability, because it is due within one year. Since its current liabilities are understated, the current ratio will look more favorable than it should. A potential creditor will be misled and may decide to lend the money only to find out later that the company does not have the ability to pay back its loans when due.

Answer to Question 2

True
