Required
a. What pricing decisions might LFD make based on the consultant’s information? 

b. Would these be ethical? Why or why not?
c. The consultant comes back to Anjana’s office and explains that he made a mistake in the analysis. The relation is actually between cost of customer support and the customer’s gender. Does this affect your answers to requirements (a) and (b)?
