Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Answer to Question 2

E
Explanation: E) If the technology which the company plans to adopt was newly developed and the company will be first to use it in a real business context, then this is a potential risk for the company, should the implementation fail. Hence, this most weakens the argument that Fony should upgrade its technology. The company should not avoid upgrading its technology just because of employees' unfounded fears that they might be rendered obsolete due to the new technology. That Fony will be able to recover the cost of the new technology within four years slightly strengthens the argument. If the technology is expected to reduce the cost of production, then this would strengthen the argument to upgrade the technology, as would the threat of legal action by a client.
