标题: 请教OG10 148

72.A discount retailer of basic household necessities employs thousands of people and pays most of them at the minimum wage rate．Yet following a federally mandated increase of the minimum wage rate that increased the retailer's operating costs considerably, the retailer's profits increased markedly．

Which of the following，if true，most helps to resolve the apparent paradox?

(A) Over half of the retailer's operating costs consist of payroll expenditures；yet only a small percentage of those expenditures go to pay management salaries．

(B) The retailer’s customer base is made up primarily of people who earn，or who depend on the earnings of others who earn．the minimum wage．

(C) The retailer's operating costs，other than wages，increased substantially after the increase in the minimum wage rate went into effect．

(D) When the increase in the minimum wage rate went into effect，the retailer also raised the wage rate for employees who had been earning just above minimum wage．

(E) The majority of the retailer's employees work as cashiers，and most cashiers are paid the minimum wage．

我对这道题目的答案B没有异议，但是我想问一下D选项是什么意思啊？怎么排除的呢？谢谢大家。

菜鸟附和：不好意思呀lz，这题我没明白，为什么选B啊？题目明明说的是cost的问题，答案为什么说的是customer的情况啊？D的意思好像是：当增加最低工资比例实施的时候，这个零售商同时也增加了那些原先已经超过最低工资水平的员工的工资比例。并不能解释这个paradox，不知道我是不是理解错了题意，题目是说，这个paradox是：最低工资比例提高了，零售商按理说付给工人的工资更多了，但是这个零售商的利润也提高了。是这个意思吧？

B是说这家店的客人主要都是这些靠最低工资收入的人，当这些人的工资高了，他们在这里消费也有提高。这就提高了店的利润。
