Question 56 Decision Making 2024 Medium MCQ +1.00 marks · -0.25 negative

Ms. Vineeta Lama, a respected figure in the small town of Jampur, found herself stranded on the road, once again, when her old small hatchback car broke down. Finding herself alone on the deserted road with no one to help, Vineeta, in desperation called Shyam Saigal, the General…

Shyam's satisfaction from meeting the month's quota for selling SUVs turned to dismay when one of his young executives nervously told him that he mistakenly punched an extended warranty for free to Vineeta's purchase contract earlier that morning. This could not be reversed from the company's system and meant a loss of Rs. 19,000 for the dealership. The executive was very sorry and was ready to take accountability. However, the amount was too large to be borne by the executive. Shyam was not concerned about placing accountability, but rather the recovery of the loss. He was unsure whether he should ask Vineeta for the money. The following pieces of information are available to Shyam: A. Shyam is aware that Vineeta is very happy with the deal he gave her for the car. B. Shyam feels that Diplomatico's software system is complicated for new employees, which might have also played a role in the error. C. Vineeta has a wide network and can connect Shyam with many potential customers. D. Vineeta's brother, a car enthusiast, has enough knowledge of how car dealers operate. E. Shyam feels that if he maintains the current sales volume, he might be able to persuade Diplomatico to write off the amount (Rs. 19,000). Which of the following combinations, of the above pieces of information, will MOST likely stop Shyam from trying to recover the money from Vineeta?
