Answer 1

The problem seems to be here:

.then(function(balance) {
   assert.equal(balance.toNumber(), 999990, 'returns all unsold dapp tokens to admin');
   // Check that the contract has no balance
}).then(function(price) {
   assert.equal(price.toNumber(), 0, 'token price was reset');
});

There's no return value from that first function, so of course price is undefined.
