问题如下:
An analyst predicts that if a company’s technological developments
are a success, the company’s operating costs will be reduced by 15%. As a
result of the reduction in costs, the company will reduce the average selling
price of its products by 5% and the volume of sales will increase by 8%. The
company’s current gross profit margin is 40%. If technological developments
occur, the company’s gross profit margin will be closest to:
选项:
A.
44.8%
B.
46.3%
C.
47.5%
解释:
B is correct. Sales =
100(0.95)(1.08) = 102.6
Cost of sales =
60(0.85)(1.08) = 55.1
Gross profit = 102.6
− 55.1 = 47.5
Gross profit margin =
47.5/102.6 = 46.3%
这个题目的operating cost知道不明,应该直接写direct manufacturing cost,因为那些期间费用是不在COGS里,但是肯定在operating cost里面
