SonalSinha803 Option C cannot be strengthener answer choice as we cant be assured that improved version of micro processor shall be bought by consumers and it shall be able to compensate the revenue lost on discount.
Meghakothari98 Option E is a weakener infact because if price of Micro processors that Computers North America produces is higher than comparable micro processors of other companies, customer may not prefer to buy the same. Hence there is a huge possibility that sales may not improve as pricing is also an important parameter for many of customers while buying a product.
I will try to explain by POE
Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for Computers North America's expectation of making a profit after further lowering the price of their microprocessors?
A. Despite being in the microprocessors market for years, Computers North America has never before lowered the price of their microprocessors.
Incorrect as merely reducing a price cannot give assurance that customer shall buy more of its productsB. The price reduction will not affect microprocessors sold for commercial use, a market where customers can already procure microprocessors at a discount when purchased in bulk.
Incorrect as Firstly this answer choice is only speaking about microprocessors sold for commercial use. Again as per se this answer choice as in bulk purchase there is discount available which is not available when buying in individual units so people would opt for buying in bulk and may ignore the price reduction done when buying in individual unitsC. Next year, Computers North America expects to release a new and improved model of microprocessor on the market.
Option C cannot be strengthener answer choice as we cant be assured that improved version of micro processor shall be bought by consumers and it shall be able to compensate the revenue lost on discountD. Computers North America can increase its microprocessor production by twenty percent without incurring any additional expenses.
CORRECT as production is increased without having any additional burden of expenses, profitability would improve with increases sales and no additional burden of expensesE. The microprocessors that Computers North America produces are currently more expensive than comparable microprocessors produced by other companies.
Option E is a weakener infact because if price of Micro processors that Computers North America produces is higher than comparable micro processors of other companies, customer may not prefer to buy the same. Hence there is a huge possibility that sales may not improve as pricing is also an important parameter for many of customers while buying a product.Kindly give kudos if my explanation helps
