After numerous caps interviews, Steve Baren, a senior at great northern college, received two office interview invitations from the Baltimore offices of two large firms. Both firms offered to cover his out-of-pocket expenses (travel, hotel, and meals). He scheduled the interviews for both firms on the same day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. At the conclusion of each interview, he submitted to both firms his total out-of-pocket expenses for the trip to Baltimore: mileage $112 (280 miles at $0.40), hotels $130, meals $36, parking and tolls $18, for a total of $296. he belived this approach is appropriate. If he had made two trips, his cost would have been two times $296. he is also certain that neither firm kew he had visited the other on that same trip. Within ten days Steve received two checks in the mail, each in the amount of $296.
