Don's, a chain of supermarkets, has entered into an agreement in which Rose Computers will sell Don's an unlimited number of its least expensive PC's at one-fourth the regular wholesale price. In return, Don's has agreed to purchase all of its scanners and other electronic information-processing equipment from Rose or from Omicron, Rose Computers' parent company, for the next ten years. Don's will offer a Rose PC free to any school that turns in Don's register receipts totaling $100,000 within the next six months. The vice-president in charge of advertising for Don's expects that the computer giveaway will obviate the need for a massive new advertising campaign for the next six months and that Don's can make up the expenditures for the PC's by writing them off its income taxes as charitable donations.
The plans formulated by Don's assume each of the following EXCEPT:
(A) The prices that Rose or Omicron charges Don's for information-processing equipment over the next ten years will be lower than those charged by other companies.
(B) The tax laws will not be changed to exclude or lessen the value of charitable donations as tax write-offs.
(C) Schools will be sufficiently attracted by Don's computer giveaway offer that teachers will urge students to shop at Don's.
(D) Rose will be able to supply Don's with a sufficient number of PC's to meet the demand generated by schools that collect Don's receipts totaling $100,000.
(E) The effect of the computer giveaway offer on Don's business will be comparable to that of a major advertising campaign.

好长的题 长见识了  其实BCDE的每个选项都是原文里面的逻辑跳跃，一眼可以补出来。
B：that Don's can make up the expenditures for the PC's by writing them off its income taxes as charitable donations.
这里要考虑到tax的变化，才能说可以做到。

Con's will offer a Rose PC free to any school that turns in Don's register receipts totaling $100,000 within the next six months
做这样的决定首先要 假设 对方愿意接受。

D：Don's will offer a Rose PC free to any school that turns in Don's register receipts totaling $100,000 within the next six months
这是一个双向的过程，C确定需求，D确定供给。

E：obviate the need for a massive new advertising campaign for the next six months 说明这个program是可以和ads 等价衡量的，否则不存在一方会对另一方有影响

A 没什么逻辑问题，题目就说DONS准备以这个价格买了 没什么好说的
