Explanation of Solution

A qualitative factor that could be considered before making the decision is lack of completion in SM region. Also, since, the region is less developed; incurring costs to provide value addition to the community, conducting ethical training and establishing supply chain management would benefit the society which would have positive impact on goodwill of the company.

Therefore, company may opt for SM region after considering all these factors.

Wilson Bryant Air Conditioning asked SunTrust Bank for a loan of $5 million presenting their idea.
