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. 没有说到profit increase
(8)  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 wen tinto 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.

问题: 从customer earn多少未必能对profit的利处. 可能是: minim wage increase了, 同样earn minim wage的customer消费多了, profit increase?? 强烈怀疑题目有问题!! 哪位高人给看看吧

请问答案是不是B？？

题目中说最低工资上涨了，但是利润却增加了。
因为工资是cost, profit=earning-cost
如果cost增加，其他条件不变，profit应该减少，但是现在却大幅增加，可以说明要么是earning增加，要么是其他的cost减少超过工资增加的幅度。
答案中只有B提到的和earning相关
retailer的earning和销售相关，而其顾客就是这些拿最低工资的人。当最低工资上涨，顾客的消费力增强，促进retailer的销售额，自然它的earning要增。

TKS. 答案确实是B  
看了2遍以后, 也觉得也只有B是可以解释得通的.

68. Manufacturers sometimes discount the price of a Product to retailers for a promotion period when the product is advertised to consumers. Such promotions often result in a dramatic increase in amount of product sold by the manufacturers to retailers. Nevertheless, the manufacturers could often make more profit by not holding the promotions.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim above about the manufacturers' profit?
(A) The amount of discount generally offered by manufacturers to retailers is carefully calculated to represent the minimum needed to draw consumers' attention to the product.
(8) For many consumer products the period of advertising discounted prices to consumers is about a week, not sufficiently long for consumers to become used to the sale price.
(C) For products that are not newly introduced, the purpose of such promotions is to keep the products in the minds of consumers and to attract consumers who are currently using
competing products.
(D) During such a promotion retailers tend to accumulate in their warehouses inventory bought at discount; they then sell much of it later at their regular price.
(E) If a manufacturer fails to offer such promotions but its competitor offers them, that competitor will tend to attract consumers away from the manufacturer's product.

问题: 我觉得D项描述的是关于retailer的benefit. 似不能描述manufacturer's profit?
