Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

During the winter months customers can postpone their decision to buy an air conditioner. So it would seem that manufacturers would not offer sales in the summer when customers can least afford to postpone their decision. But the reason that they do is that during the summer there is increased competition and manufacturers realize that you have choices. These choices lead to an increase in the price elasticity of demand.
