A brand of cough syrup comes with a measuring cup attached so that customers can measure the proper dosage. A consultant has pointed out that this cup is unnecessary, since most customers have measuring cups at home. Since the cups increase the cost of packaging the cough syrup and reduce the total number of units that can be shipped in a standard package, the consultant advises that the company can increase its net revenue on this product (total revenue minus total costs) by selling the cough syrup without the measuring cups.
A. Studies have shown that customers who use cough syrup without a measuring cup frequently take either too little or too much of the medicine, rendering the dosage either ineffective or, in cases of overdose, dangerous.
B. The company has included a measuring cup with each bottle of cough syrup for the last 18 years.
答案是A，我觉得是B啊，因为题目中已经说过most customers have measuring cups at home，所以为什么还要考虑without a measuring cup呢？作者: aeolusero二 时间: 2012-5-11 21:32
