Answer:
a) Appeal to the receiver's sense of responsibility and pride in the company's good name
Explanation:
Persuasive messages refer to communicating an idea so as to persuade the recipient towards an action.
Such messages are usually drafted by sales and marketing personnel.
While drafting a persuasive message, AIDA (Attention, interest, desire and action) principle is usually followed by the marketers.
In the given case, Mikhail's claim has already been denied once and he is drafting the second persuasive message. As he expects resistance from the media company, he should draw the attention of the recipient towards their own responsibilities and duties and pride relating to the good reputation of the company.
He may choose to express, what the receiver's responsibility and duties are and how non performance of those puts the company's reputation (pride) at stake.

Answer: pay for performance
Explanation: In simple words, it refers to the concept under which an organisation tries to motivate its employees to work more by offering them incentives on extra work. These incentives could be cash or related to some other service as such.
In the given case, Valerie is earning from the summer job on the basis of production she do while on the job.
Hence the following case is an example of pay for performance.
Answer:
- after-tax average annual return = 14.41%
- after tax dividends per year = $38.88
Explanation:
initial investment = 30 shares x $72.49 per share = $2,174.70
- dividends received per year = 30 shares x $0.36 x 4 (dividends paid every quarter) = $43.20
after tax dividends per year = $43.20 x 90% = $38.88
- long term capital gains = (30 shares x $183 per share) - initial investment = $5,490 - $2,174.70 = $3,315.30
taxes on long term capital gains = $3,315.30 x 10% = $331.53
To calculate Mason and Kirsty's after tax average annual return (interest rate) we can use the excel spreadsheet =RATE function, where:
- PV = -2174.70
- FV = 5490 - 331.53 = 5158.47
- Pmt = 38.88
- Nper = 7
=RATE (nper, pmt, pv, [fv])
=RATE (7,38.88,-2174.70,5158.47) = 14.41%
