17. Companies considering new cost-cutting manufacturing processes often compare the projected results of making the investment against the alternative of not making the investment with costs, selling prices, and share of market remaining constant.

Which of the following, assuming that each is a realistic possibility, constitutes the most serious disadvantage for companies of using the method above for evaluating the financial benefit of new manufacturing processes?

(A) The costs of materials required by the new process might not be known with certainty.
(B) In several years interest rates might go down, reducing the interest costs of borrowing money to pay for the investment.
(C) Some cost-cutting processes might require such expensive investments that there would be no net gain for many years, until the investment was paid for by savings in the manufacturing process.
(D) Competitors that do invest in a new process might reduce their selling prices and thus take market share away from companies that do not.
(E) The period of year chosen for averaging out the cost of the investment might be somewhat longer or shorter, thus affecting the result.

这题老不太明白，谁能帮忙解答一下，谢了！

答案是D啊

我的理解是，D是一个自己不能控制的它因。

楼主mm,看清句子主干，然后用有关无关方法进行排除。
题目是驳斥。
先看原文主干是：公司比较结果；然后加入修饰成分：考虑削减成本新过程的公司，比较的是用了这种新过程的结果和不用它的结果，比较的限制条件是保证costs, selling prices, and share of market 不变。
然后看选项：A说新过程需要的原材料的成本可能不确切知道---此选项描述的事情是“。。成本不知道”原文没有提到，即此选项与原文不相关。直接排除。
B说利率降低，使得减少了。。。-----与A同理“利率降低”这件事原文也没有提到，同样是无关选项，也可以直接排除。。
同理分析以下3个选项，会发现只有D是有关选项，所以答案就是D.

To sum up,要想使选项为正确答案，首先就需要这个选项描述的事情与原文有关，然后才有可能成为正确选项。

这一题的题干看起来很别扭。

Companies compare the projected results of making the investment against the alternative of not making the investment with costs, selling prices, and share of market remaining constant.

查字典以后,只有惯用法compare...with 和compare... to..., 没有compare...against...这个词组啊？

难道是：Companies compare (the projected results of making the investment against the alternative of not making the investment) with costs, selling prices, and share of market remaining constant. ??

那位NN解释这一句的含义？

意思是公司在costs, selling prices and share of market remaining constant等方面将投资的项目和那些代替的不投资的项目做比较。

A,B,C,E 都可以包括在以上因素里了，比如考虑投资的cost的时候，就会考虑到A原料成本的变化，B利率的变化，C投资，E成本的年限(这个在做投资评价的时候比如计算折现率时肯定会考虑到)

唯有D这个因素没有被考虑，所以constitues the most disadvantage for the method. 可以认为是他因削弱。

先看原文主干是：公司比较结果；然后加入修饰成分：考虑削减成本新过程的公司，比较的是用了这种新过程的结果和不用它的结果，比较的限制条件是保证costs, selling prices, and share of market 不变。

同意此说法.可是不明白为什么选D:比如B说利率可能下降, 导致成本下降, 即cost会改变.而提干是说在cost不变的情况下的比较呀.

是不是其他几个选项的变化, 如成本变化, 都是可大致估计的, 但是D的却无法估算到底会失去多少share of market?

thanks

I would think the answer is D as well. Because the original sentence stated:

-- Projected result (forcast) of making investment VS the result of not making investment with cost, selling prices, market share (these factors) not change

Explaination: if the company does comparison with the two results with forcasting, they will remain these factosr not change; in other words, (which is the answer D), if the company does invest in some project, it will change at least one factor of the three.

Answer D indicates that the competitor does the investment, and changes selling price and result in the increased marke share.

Hopefully I explained it well. Thank you
