Answer:

d. A 24/7 technical support hotline with a team that is knowledgeable about the product and business goals of the company's customers.

Explanation:

The other software companies are already selling their product as a one off sale at retail stores. The president of the software company wants to sell his product as SaaS (software as a service) where customers will pay monthly subscription.

Customers are going to be paying more to use his product so he needs to get a competitive edge and give value that his competitors are not delivering to the customer.

Setting up a 24/7 customer support line with a team that can help the customer meet their business goals will give his product an edge.

natta225 [31]

From the problem statement it is clear that here we need to find out simple interest rate. 
One do not get interest on any investment made at the end of tenure.  
Putting this mathematically:
 Let amount at the end of 5th year as A 
Simple Interest for 5 years, SI = 750 *5
 SI = 3750
 Hence A = 10000 +3750
 A= 13750
 Let rate of return = R
 Tenure t = 5
 But,
  A = P(1 + R*t/100)
 13750 = 10000( 1+ R*5/100)
 13750 = 10000 + 50000R/100
 3750 = 500R
 R = 3750/500
 R = 7.5 %
 
 Hence rate of return is 7.5% per annum (answer)
