Explanation:
This is a very general question however I’ll try to answer it to the best of my knowledge.
If I use my own assumptions then these will be the Projections:
Selling Price $79.99 Selling Price $69.99
Cost of Sales/unit $40.00 Cost of Sales/unit $40.00
Expenses/unit $15.00 Expenses/unit $15.00
Demand @ $79.99 1000 Demand @ $69.99 1200
Sales $79,990.00 Sales $83,988.00
Cost of Sales $40,000.00 Cost of Sales $48,000.00
Expenses $15,000.00 Expenses $18,000.00
Profit $24,990.00 Profit $17,988.00
The final decision however relies on the Price Elasticity of the Product. If the Product is Price elastic then lowering the Price will lead to a significant rise in Demand. However if the Product is Price inelastic then lowering the Price will not lead to a significant rise in Demand and thus profit margins will be lowered. If the Product is Price inelastic then it is better to increase prices in order to gain more profits. In the case of Unit Elasticity the change in Demand will be at the same proportion as price change so it won’t be of any use to change the Price.
Answer:
c. Contacting me by December 1 about your support of this new benefits plan will allow me to present this proposal at the next strategic planning session.
Explanation:
The closing for a request should indicate a deadline for receiver, which can help to engage receiver in sender’s process.
Even though in this scenario, the sender is requesting for a support which might be not receiver’s responsibility to accept the benefit plan, but the sender can smartly appreciate the receiver if he can have the support by December 1.
I suppose with this closing in an email, receiver will put this mail in his working calendar or prioritized list if he really care and want to support this plan.
It may be A but if it isn't I'm sorry
Answer:

a) Confidence index=Yield on top-rated corporate bonds/ Yield on intermediate-grade corporate bonds
This year=9.3%/11.8%=0.788
Last Year=9.8%/11.3%=0.8673
b) From the calculations we can see that confidence index is decreasing from 0.8673 to 0.788.
