The Maxilux car company's design for its new luxury model, the Max 100, included a special design for the tires that was intended to complement the model's image. The winning bid for supplying these tires was submitted by Rubco. Analysts concluded that the bid would only just cover Rubco's costs on the tires, but Rubco executives claim that winning the bid will actually make a profit for the company.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly justifies the claim made by Rubco's executives?

Which of the following, if true, most strongly justifies the claim made by Rubco's executives?
(A) In any Maxilux model, the spare tire is exactly the same make and model as the tires that are mounted on the wheels. (B) Rubco holds exclusive contracts to supply Maxilux with the tires for a number of other models made by Maxilux. (C) The production facilities for the Max 100 and those for the tires to be supplied by Rubco are located very near each other. (D) When people who have purchased a carefully designed luxury automobile need to replace a worn part of it, they almost invariably replace it with a part of exactly the same make and type. (E) When Maxilux awarded the tire contract to Rubco, the only criterion on which Rubco's bid was clearly ahead of its competitors' bids was price.
我理解的是,就算顾客replace it with a part of exactly the same make and type,G公司还是only just cover costs on the tires。感觉就是G公司卖tire没啥利润,就算卖得多也赚不了多少钱啊。。。
题干逻辑链:Max公司要造MAX100 需要special tires RA:supply THESE tires just cover the cost Re :winning the bid will make a profit D给出了后续换tires时 会给R公司带来profit 你得理解是 每个tire都是没利润的 所以数量多也没用 但是其实是为了bid 压低价格 得到contract 后续的就不一定会按照成本价了 so it can make a profit
注意Rubco executives claim that winning the bid will actually make a profit for the company.
意思bid本身能获利。
如果B选项,profit并不是来自于这次的bid,而是来自于公司其他的模型,所以无关。跟这次的bid不相关。
