Ethics tricky

Question 2 Marc Feldman, CFA, is manager of corporate investor relations for a high-tech startup, zippy.com, in Boise, Idaho. Feldman is well-known in the high tech community in Boise, and Dragon.com has asked if he will help them organize their investor relations function on a consulting basis. They offer him an all-expenses-paid two-week holiday for two on Australia’s Gold Coast in payment. Regarding this offer as a CFA Institute member Feldman is: A) allowed to accept the offer only with written approval from zippy and from Dragon. B) allowed to accept the offer only with written approval from zippy. C) not allowed to accept such an offer since it effectively places him in competition with his employer. D) not allowed to accept such an offer since the compensation is non-cash and, therefore, is hard to quantify for the purpose of adhering to the Code and Standards. Is it A or B. B sounds right, but maybe A, too.
