GWD32-Q8

大家帮忙看看,这题答案是A嘛?我怎么觉得B跟好啊

Q17:GWD32-Q8  BA

Last August the XT chain of gasoline stations had a temporary sales promotion in effect. In the promotion, any customer who made a purchase of ten or more gallons of gasoline was entitled to a free car wash. For the month of August, XT experienced a ten percent increase in gasoline sales as compared to sales in August the previous year, so evidently the promotion was successful as a means of boosting sales.

 

In evaluating the argument, it would be most helpful to answer which of the following?

 

A.    In the areas in which XT’s gasoline stations operate, how did total combined gasoline sales for all gasoline stations last August compare with sales for the previous August?

B.    Was the money that XT earned from the increase in gasoline sales enough to offset the cost of providing tree car washes during the promotion?

C.    Were there any customers who bought ten or more gallons at an XT gasoline station during the promotion who would have or more gallons at an XT gasoline in lower quantities, but more frequently, if the promotion had not been in effect?

D.    Did XT or any of its gasoline stations have to pay other businesses to provide the car washes that customers were offered in the promotion?

E.     Are XT’s gasoline sales in August usually significantly higher than one twelfth of XT’s annual gasoline sales?

我认为答案应是A。请注意结论: Evidently the promotion was successful as a means of boosting sales. 这里要评估的是,这个promotion在促进销售量上是否成功,而非在促进利润上是否成功。如果free car wash的支出比销售量增加带来的收入还多,那这个promotion不是一个成功的增加利润的方式,但不能证明它不是一个成功的促进销售量的方式。所以B不正确。

A讲的是,该地区各加油站总体的汽油销售量在上一个八月和更前一个八月的比较,那么,如果拿这个XT加油站销售量的增幅和这个总体的增幅来比较,就可以知道XT的销售量增幅是否超群,从而可以看出这个free car wash的措施是否促进销售量大增

agree with A

B only talk about whether the revenue cover the cost, doesn't mention about the promotion.

A compare the revenue WITH promotion and WITHOUT promotion, so its the answer.
