Q1 Caroline recently met with a client, Jeff, who put her in an uncomfortable situation. Jeff owns a car dealership and will only give Caroline his insurance business if she refers her clients to him. The commission Caroline will receive from his business is substantial, but she is unsure whether she should refer her clients to him. What might help Caroline make a decision? A) Reviewing her options and speaking with her supervisor to make sure she is following the regulator's rules. B) Setting up a written contract with the client so that she is protected if her clients are not happy. C) Explaining to her clients that insurance regulators do not allow referrals to unlicensed individuals and encourage him to get a license. D) Setting up a percentage of commission for each client she refers to his business so that she earns a commission in both places.

A local shopkeeper has been doing business with Imogene for years. Imogene is a caretaker for an elderly woman in town, and she is authorized to purchase groceries and other goods in the store on the elderly woman's account. One day, a man named Andrew comes to the store and claims to be the elderly woman's new caretaker. He charges groceries to her account and leaves.
