This statement is false. This dialogue begins with Philip asking Cheryl if she received his "counter-proposal" for the buying price of Delavigne's deodorant. Cheryl confirms that she has received the counter-proposal, however she tells Philip that she was disappointed by it.
This is a correct choice. Cheryl calls Brian's idea "interesting", which implies that she is considering it. She also says she has "to hand it" to him, meaning she admits that his idea is interesting, or in other words to compliment him on his idea. Towards the end of the conversation, Cheryl informs Brian and Philip that she will think about their offer and get back to them.
This is an incorrect choice. When Cheryl requests a lower buying price for the deodorant, Philip says "I can't go down beyond 8.1 dollars per unit", which was his initial counter-proposal. He is saying that he will not change his mind and does not want to lower the price. This tells us that Philip is not prepared to lower his price during these negotiations.
This is a correct choice. Cheryl says that she is "a bit disappointed" by Philip's counter-proposal, and adds that Sheik Jafar (Cheryl's boss) didn't appreciate the high price either. This tells us that neither Cheryl nor her boss Sheik Jafar liked Philip's counter proposal on the price of Delavigne deodorant.
This statement is false. Cheryl wants to reduce Philip's asking price from 8.1 dollars per unit to 7.9. Brian does some quick calculations in his head and then says that "20 cents for 400 million people" adds up 80 million dollars, which is "nothing to sneeze at". Brian's expression ("It's nothing to sneeze at") indicates that Brian does think that this amount of money is quite significant. This expression is a way of saying that something (an amount of money for example) is quite considerable or significant.
This is a correct choice. Brian suggests that Cheryl accept Philip's suggested buying price: "Ms. Mackenna, why don't you just take the units at 8.1? I'm so sure you'll sell all of them within 6 months, that we'll buy back any unsold stock at the same price."
