Answer 1

Answer:

1. Rule out other explanations such as an error by the computer distributor.

Explanation:

The best and most appropriate action is to rule out explanation. There can be an error with the shipment or by computer distributor. Before suspecting Bill for the missing computer we need to seek explanation from him. The computer can either be loss or missed out when shipped. Bill should be asked to explain the missing inventory. The explanation from Bill can be a point for further investigation.
