A sales manager has been given an unreasonable goal and an ultimatum from their boss. If the sales team does not meet the goal, the manager will be fired. The manager knows that the only way to increase sales to that level would be to extend credit to individuals who do not qualify. In other words, they would have to give credit to those who can't afford it, according to their income level, or who have a demonstrated history of unreliability, according to their credit score.

Ultimately the manager decides that they will follow along with the goal and allow the sales team to take the necessary steps to make the sales needed. The manager assumes that not everyone who takes the bad credit agreement will actually suffer any consequences and those that do won't experience any problems for several months (based on the credit terms).

What two facets of moral intensity is the manager specifically considering when making their decision?

a.probability of effect and temporal immediacy

b.temporal immediacy and magnitude of consequences

c.social consensus and proximity

d. probability of effect and social consensus
