In 1999 Company X’s gross profit was what percent of its revenue?

(1) In 1999 Company X’s gross profit was 1/3 of its expenses.
(2) In 1999 Company X’s expenses were 3/4 of its revenue.

Ans: D


第一次發言 請多指教!

我的印象中是 Revenue – COGS = Gross Profit;
Gross Profit – Expense = Net Income
所以我這題選了C
合併兩個條件才能知道 Gross Profit/ Revenue 是多少


而根據ETS給的答案 似乎是 Revenue – Expenses = Gross Profit
和我在課堂上學的不太一樣…

請各位高手幫幫忙

我個人覺得不需要太拘泥於字面上的解釋意思。

COGS ＝ costs of goods sold ＝（to certain exten）expenses

掌握基本的題意比較重要。

Revenue - cost = gross profit

cost = expense

想請教...1或2不是都不能滿足嗎?
1並只說出gross是expense的1/3
2也只說出expense是revenue的3/4
不是要二者同時才能滿足問題嗎?
那為什麼答案是D呢? 我搞錯什麼東西了?

In 1999 Company X’s gross profit was what percent of its revenue?

(1) In 1999 Company X’s gross profit was 1/3 of its expenses.
(2) In 1999 Company X’s expenses were 3/4 of its revenue.

Ans: D

R=revenue
E=expense
G=gross prifit
(1) R-E=G=1/3 E, R=4/3E=4G
(2) R-3/4R =1/4R=G

so the answer is D.

總收入 = 支出 + 淨利
支出 = 總收入 - 淨利
淨利 = 總收入 - 支出
(1)
支出 : 淨利 = 1 : 3
設金額為X元
X + 3X = 4X(總收入)
題目問的是比值..
X : 4X = 1 /4
所以X值就算未知..
也已經充分了
(2)
總收入 : 支出 = 4 :3
4X - 3X = X
X : 4X = 1 /4
充分

OG (QR)好像有一題類似題

啊..的確..
把式子列出來其實就看得出來了...
