Q. ans given B, I confused

You are doing business in a foreign country and you are advised by your local

contact that it will be necessary to make payments to certain officials in order to get the

contract. Such payments are expected in the other country, but are illegal for people

from your country. What should you do?

a) Have the local contact make payments.

b) Refuse to make the payment and hope to get the contract solely based on your

company's abilities.

c) Call your government officials and ask for direction.

d) Amend your price increasing the cost to reflect the payments to be made to local

officials.

 The sentence "such payments are EXPECTED in the other country" does not mean such payment is legal. Meaning it is still a bribery. Hence, among the given choices, only B is the best answer.

I think should not rely on local contact, hence Answer is B
