GWD30-Q10 A manufacturer of workstations for computer-aided design seeks to increase sales to its most important corporate customers. Its strategy is to publish very low list prices for workstations in order to generate interest among the buyers for those corporations. Which of the following, if characteristic of the marketplace, would tend to cause the manufacturer’s strategy to fail? A.The proposed list prices would seem low to a typical buyer for the manufacturer’s most important corporate customers. B.The capabilities of workstations suitable for given jobs are not significantly different among various manufacturers. C.The manufacturer’s most important corporate customers employ as buyers persons who are very knowledgeable about prices for workstations for customer-aided design. D.Customers differ significantly in the percentage of resources they can devote to computer workstations. E.Buyers for corporations that purchase workstations for computer-aided design receive bonuses for negotiating large discounts from the list price. A:(E) 不太懂為何(E)會使得策略失敗，是因為接受買方所要的bonuses，結果導致真正的 profit下降嗎，並無達到當初增加sales而增加profits的目的嗎? 我是選(C)，因為買方會雇用對於CAD有所認識的人，他們對於價格有個了解，所以賣方的策略(list very low prices)是無效的。 GWD30-Q27 Personnel officer: The exorbitant cost of our health-insurance benefits reflects the high dollar amount of medical expenses incurred by our employees. Employees who are out of shape, as a group, have higher doctor bills and longer hospital stays than do their colleagues who are fit.Therefore, since we must reduce our health-insurance costs, we should offer a rigorous fitness program of jogging and weight lifting to all employees, and require employees who are out of shape to participate. The conclusion reached by the personnel officer depends on which of the following assumptions? A.A person who is fit would receive a routine physical checkup by a doctor less regularly than would a person who is out of shape. B.The medical expenses incurred by employees who are required to participate in the fitness program would be less than those incurred by employees who are not required to participate. C.The strenuous activities required of out-of-shape employees by the program would not by themselves generate medical expenses greater than any reduction achieved by the program. D.The fitness program would serve more employees who are out of shape than it would employees who are fit. E.The employees who participate in the fitness program would be away from work because of illness less than would the employees who do not participate. A:(C) 這裡的"reduction"到底指的是什麼呢? 雖然其他四個選項都沒什太大相關但也不懂選(C)的理由在那? GWD30-Q32 A major chemical spill occurred five years ago at Baker's Beach, the world's sole nesting ground for Merrick sea turtles, and prevented nearly all the eggs laid that year from hatching. Yet the number of adult female Merricks returning to lay their eggs at Baker’s Beach has actually increased somewhat since five years ago. Clearly, environmentalists' prediction that the world's Merrick population would decline as a result of the spill has proven unfounded. Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument offered in refutation of the environmentalists’ prediction? A.The chemical spill five years ago occurred at a time when there were neither Merrick sea turtles nor Merrick sea turtle eggs on Baker’s Beach. B.Female Merrick sea turtles begin returning to Baker’s Beach to lay their eggs when they are ten years old. C.Under normal conditions, only a small proportion of hatchling female Merrick sea turtles survive in the ocean until adulthood and return to lay their eggs at Baker’s Beach. D.Environmental pressures unrelated to the chemical spill have caused a significant decline in the population of one of the several species of sea birds that prey on Merrick sea turtle eggs. E.After the chemical spill, an environmental group rejected a proposal to increase the Merrick sea turtle population by transferring eggs from Baker’s Beach to nearby beaches that had not been affected by the spill. A:(B) 題目是說5年前有化學外洩，導致幾乎所有的蛋無法孵化。但是5年前回來下蛋的 female Merrick sea turtles數目增多。這題是問支持保護人士的預測嗎? 如(B)所說，因為female turtles要到10歲才會回來下蛋，需這預測有什關連呢? 謝謝善心人士的回答^^ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.118.166.184
