Under Company A’s compensation plan, the manager’s bonus compensation is based on current reported net income only. The bonus plan has a bogey and a cap.

Therefore, as reported net income increases, the manager’s bonus increases between the bogey and the cap. Required:Discuss how the manager’s earnings management behavior may differ based on this type of compensation plan. For example, (a) when net income is significantly below the bogey (b) when net income is just below the bogey, (c) when net income is above the bogey but below the cap (d) when net income is above the cap.  Note: I do not want examples of how earnings are managed, just whether the manager will manage earnings at all, and if so, whether she will manage earnings up or down, and why.
