To avoid a hostile takeover attempt, the board of directors of Wellco, Inc., a provider of life and health insurance, planned to take out large loans and use them to purchase
a publishing company, a chocolate factory, and a nationwide chain of movie theaters. The directors anticipated that these purchase initially would plunge the corporation deep into debt, rendering it unattractiveto those who wanted to take it over, but that steadily rising insurance rates would allow the company to pay off the debt within five years. Meanwhile, revenues from the three new businesses would enable the corporation as a whole to continue to meet its increased operating expenses. Ultimately, according o the directors’ plan, the diversification would strengthen the corporation by varying the sources and schedules of its annual revenues.
Which of the following, assuming that all are equally possible, would most enhance the chances of the plan’s success?
(A) A widespread drought decreases the availability of cacao beans, from which chocolate is manufacture, diving up chocolate prices worldwide.
(B) New government regulations require a 30 percent across-the-board rate rollback of all insurance companies, to begin immediately and to be completed within a five-year period.
(C) Congress enacts a statute, effective after six months, making it illegal for any parent not to carry health insurance coverage for his or her child.
(D) Large-screen televisions drop dramatically in price due to surprise alterations in trade barriers with Japan; movie theater attendance dwindles as a consequence.
(E) A new, inexpensive process is discovered for making paper pulp, and paper prices fall to 60 percent of their former level.
1. 读懂题,找出argument & line of argument
买3家不同业务,达到不少商业目的
1)贷款借债 -> 避免被收购
2)依靠保险费上升 -> 5年付清债务
3)新业务的营收 -> 帮助支付经常开支
4)不同业务多元化 -> 营收多元化
问哪个答案支持这个商业运作(考虑它要达到的目的)?
2. 分析逻辑/找茬漏洞
上面4小项都有两个逻辑事物,左边推到右边。如果推敲,每个都有一定漏洞假设。如果答案中哪个可以帮助填补漏洞假设,就增强,反之削弱
1)贷款借债 -> 避免被收购:假设 购买方在乎你借多少债务
2)依靠保险费上升 -> 5年付清债务 :假设 保险费上升
3)新业务的营收 -> 帮助支付经常开支 :假设 新业务的营收带来部分够
4)不同业务多元化 -> 营收多元化 :假设 这些业务确实营收多元化
GMAT商务逻辑,上面有些假设其实现实是大部分成立的。就看出题人从哪个角度找有一定合理的漏洞做文章了。
3. 答案
C 答案 - 关于1)保险营收上升(孩子上保险比例上升),增强。
A- 无法判断或削弱,关于3)咖啡原材料上涨,不好说咖啡厂营收如何受影响,至少题中给的信息无法判断
B- 削弱,关于1)保险营收下降
D- 削弱, 关于3)影院营收下降。
E- 无法判断或削弱,关于3)纸价格下降,不好说出版商营收如何受影响,至少题中给的信息无法判断。
做好逻辑我看有几个重点要求:1.高度精力注重细节,尤其逻辑思维细节 2. 阅读能力要一定好,能读懂读清楚逻辑关系。3. 知道阅读中如何提取出逻辑信息。4. 训练出良好的逻辑思维能力,来找茬和考核答案。
