Case : Reward Distribution at Atomic Sales Pvt. Ltd. ᵵ

Rahul was sitting in his office, on a Friday morning, with the TOI in his hand. He was contemplating
if his Zonal Head of Sales of North, Ashish Arora would also turn in with a game changing
performance this year, by notching up the highest share of National Annual Dealer Performance
Bonus, for the third year in a row. The winning amount this year, was a whopping Rs. 8.0 crores
which was duly ratified by the Board.

Amongst the 4 zones, North Zone was in fact one of the laggards in the company Atomic
Sales Pvt Ltd. (ASPL) until around 3 years ago. The company was involved in the
manufacture and sale of branded soyabean nuggets. However, after Rahul joined the
company about 5 years ago, as VP-Sales, he has been trying to push his strategy of
following a combination of vigorously supporting promising dealers and also
simultaneously knocking off contracts of non-performing dealers. Rahul believed "Sabka
Saath, Sabka Unnati" is the mantra to success. Knocking off contracts was never an easy
proposition by any means, but a careful and bold implementation of the same, enabled
North Zone turn the tide in their favor for these past three years. And according to Rahul,
the latest zone-wise results seem to have again pointed to the same growth. Data on the
zone-wise sales performance of the company's 181 dealers across 4 Zones is given in
Table 1 on the next worksheet.

Much like the North zone, the other three Zones also tried their hand with Rahul's measures.
However their understanding of their own markets, the growing dealer power at local levels &
their prevailing contexts lead to differential kinds of results and interpretations. In this context,
while it was natural for dealers to still expect rewards based only on their actual sales
performance (irrespective of prevailing concerns, or scope of growth in the future), it was their
own perception of strengths, weaknesses in terms of sales performance, versus the perception of
their boss Rahul on these aspects, which often stood in the way, particularly when it came to
dividing annual bonuses.
Rahul kept thinking hard on the potential outcome while distributing the bonus. He kept
wondering how he will confront his ZSM's as he announces the scheme for distribution of Annual
Bonus as he was certain Ashish from North Zone will again be the reckoning for a large share.
However he also did not rule out the possibility of his other 3 ZSM's strongly voicing their views on
bonus sharing, based on their own 'idea' of performance. To settle all this, Rahul called his 4 ZSM's
over to Mumbai for a meeting this Monday June 27th.

Qtn: What should Rahul do?

An insurance company is assessing the risk of policyholders making claims based
on their driving habits. The company has collected data on policyholders' driving
records and categorized them into two groups: Group A, consisting of
policyholders with no previous accidents, and Group B, consisting of
policyholders with at least one previous accident. The data shows that 80% of
policyholders are in Group A, while the remaining 20% are in Group B. The
probability of a policyholder making a claim is 0.1 for Group A and 0.4 for Group
B. What is the probability that a randomly selected policyholder will make a
