Do you 1: I would not claim the damage as $100,000 as directed by my supervisor. This action is known as fraud and I could lose my job if I am caught.

Fraud is defined as "an intentional misrepresentation of material fact made by one person to another with the knowledge that the misrepresentation could result in some type of injury to the person to whom it was made (Gollapudi, 2021)." In this case, the supervisor is asking the employee to misrepresent the cost of repairing the equipment, in order to receive a larger insurance payout. This is fraud because the supervisor is asking the employee to lie about the cost of the repairs, in order to receive more money from the insurance company. If the employee is caught lying about the cost of the repairs, they could lose their job.

Do you 2: I would refuse to claim the damage as $100,000 and instead claim it as $15,000.

Fraud is morally wrong because it involves deceiving others in order to gain an unfair advantage (Gollapudi, 2021). In this case, the supervisor is asking the employee to lie about the amount of damage in order to get a higher reimbursement from the insurance company. This is not fair to the insurance company, and it is also not fair to the employee, who could lose their job if they do not follow the supervisor's instructions.

There are a few reasons why I would refuse to claim the damage as $100,000. First, as I mentioned, fraud is morally wrong and I do not want to be a part of it. Second, if I were to follow my supervisor's instructions, I could lose my job. It is not worth risking my job for a company that is willing to commit fraud. Finally, even if I did not lose my job, I would still have to live with the knowledge that I participated in something that was dishonest. Therefore, I would refuse to claim the damage as $100,000. Fraud is wrong, and I would not want to risk my job for a company that is willing to commit it.
