Drag and Drop Question An automobile manufacturer leases cars to companies for use as company cars. A car leased to a company breaks down and requires repairs. You must open a maintenance request and replace the car with an equivalent model until the original car is repaired and returned to the company. When the manufacturer receives and inspects the car, the replacement car can be released to the company. You need to select the maintenance request components to use. Which components should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate components to the correct assets. Each component may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Scenario Summary
An auto manufacturer leases cars to companies. When a leased car breaks down:
- A replacement car is given to the company temporarily
- The original car is repaired and returned
- Only then is the replacement released back
Correct Arrangement & Why
Position 1 → Fixed Asset Lease
The original car is under a lease agreement between the manufacturer and the company. The maintenance request must reference this leasing contract to properly track which asset is under repair. "Fixed asset lease" represents the formal, ongoing financial/contractual relationship governing the original car. This is the primary asset the maintenance request is opened against.
Position 2 → Asset Loan
The replacement car is a temporary loan - it's not sold, transferred, or leased; it's provided only for the duration of the repair. "Asset loan" is specifically designed to track temporarily loaned assets with a defined return condition (in this case, when the original car is repaired and inspected). The question explicitly states the replacement is "released" once the original returns - that release event maps directly to closing an asset loan record.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
| Component | Why Not Used |
|---|---|
| Inbound asset | Tracks an asset arriving for service - not what the question asks about |
| Outbound asset | Tracks an asset leaving after service - also not the requested components |
Common Misconceptions
- "Asset loan" sounds informal - students sometimes pick "Fixed asset lease" for the replacement car too, but the replacement has no lease contract; it's purely temporary.
- Inbound/Outbound seem relevant because the car physically moves in and out - but those components describe logistics of repair, not the maintenance request structure for the customer relationship and replacement tracking.
