Answer 1

All of the following are organization-directed benefits associated with offering unconditional guarantees except:

a. the guarantee provides a means to avoid bankruptcy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Providing or offering customers unconditional guarantees does not help the company to avoid bankruptcy. Bankruptcy arises from inadequate financing resulting from overtrading. Importantly, offering guarantees to customers communicates a clear performance goal to employees to improve service delivery to customers.
