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.fficeffice" />
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。
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
公司不是说了它会考虑share of market constant吗?怎么能说D没有考虑到呢?? 不懂这道题啊 我晕
and , what 's the relationship of "invest" and “cost-cut”
意思是说process可以cost-cut,然后对比cost-cut以后process在价格等方面的变化。如果不变,就cut掉。如果变了,就不能cut,及invest吗??谢谢
My two cents:
題目的意思是, 公司是在不考慮 costs, selling prices, and share of market變化的情況下 (remaining constant), 來比較投資或不投資此流程的結果, 並以此做出決定.
D則是說, 競爭者透過降低價格搶去市佔率, 這點是在公司沒考慮/測試到的範圍內, 因為公司在評估的時候是假定價格不變的...
"invest" 這個未來可以 "cost-cut"的新流程...say, 買一套新的設備 (invest), 以便可以節省更多成本(cost-cut)
the argument ask for which one of those answers if is possible will consititue disadvantage to the company that take the process or methord of comparing two results between making investment and not making investment on the condition that such factors as cost ,sales price and share of market remain constant .
obviously , if such factors are not changed , and by the process or methord , the company accurately decrease the cost , therefore it could draw a conclusion that the process is effective to cut cost . however if the company 's competitor , as D say that , take measure to low the sales price result in taking the share of market from the company , then constituting disadvantage to the company , the company can not say that the process is a efficient one .
on other hand , the other answers can not definitely constitute disadvantage to the company . because the cost of material is uncertain , there are two possibile effects that probably benefit or harm the company , therefore the A is not right . as B says , the reducing interest cost will benefit , rather than consistitute disadvantage the company , thus the B should be rejected . C mention a difficulty the company might faced , but the difficulty is irreleative to the factors of cost , sales price and share of market , hence should be abandoned . E concerns the period of year to evaluate the effectiveness of the process , like C , E do not demonstrate the period will bring disadvantage to the company .
sorry , i have written too much ! hope it will not seriously waste your time .
看到前面那么多的讨论,还是有点不明白the validity of D.
第一,原文说: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.
我理解的大意是:公司常常用做投资项目的结果来比较没有做投资项目的结果,没有做投资项目的结果remaining constant. (而做投资项目的结果是否remaining constant, 我们不知道)
第二,原文在问: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?
我认为D虽然提到selling price,但C中的net gain更加直接。
欢迎指正!!!
原文问的是:“在XX条件不变之下,比较两个不同项目的financial benefit”这一措施的不利之处?
答案要(隐)含该措施:
C隐含表达了:新项目还是可以有financial benefit的,但并没有点到“比较。。”这个措施的不利之处。
D通过说明竞争对手的作法,解释了“比较。。”这一措施的前提“XXX不变”是会发生变化的,因此削弱结论。

把这个题目读懂最重要。
因此我将这句话分成几个部分。主要结构是compare......against。
句意:将投资后的预测结果和不投资的结果做比较。注意后面with,该词是表示比较的方式和条件:cost,parice,share保持不变。
因此,如果不能满足C,P,S的不变,则不能用这个方法比较。
为什么这些因素cost,price and share of market 在比较的时候不会改变?因为这些因素直接体现在projected result 里面,不同的投资肯定带来不一样的成本,价格和市场的变化.再把这些变化的结果来衡量要不要投资.
according to 答案D 不明白把不同的成果和这些因素比较到底是什么样一种比较?不明白.
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)
嗯,原来是这样子
