文章:

    To compete effectively in international markets, a nation's businesses must sustain investment in intangible as well as physical assets. Although an enormous pool of investment capital exists in the United States, the country's capital investment practices put United States companies at a competitive disadvantage. United States capital investment practices, shaped by sporadic and unpredictable changes in tax policy and high federal budget deficits, encourage both underinvestment and overinvestment. For example, United States companies invest at a low rate in internal development projects, such as improving supplier relations, that do not offer immediate profit, and systematically invest at a high rate in external projects, such as corporate takeovers, that yield immediate profit. Also, United States companies make too few linkages among different forms of investments. Such linkages are important because physical assets, such as factories, may not reach their potential level of productivity unless companies make parallel investments in intangible assets such as employee training and product redesign. In general, unlike Japanese and German investment practices, which focus on companies' long-term interests, United States investment practices favor those forms of investment for which financial returns are most readily available. By making minimal investments in intangible assets, United States companies reduce their chances for future competitiveness.

题目:

According to the passage, which of the following characterizes the capital allocation strategy of United States companies?

选项:

A、They tend to underinvest in intangible assets.
B、They tend to invest heavily in product redesign.
C、They tend to underinvest in physical assets.
D、They make parallel investments in internal and external projects.
E、They seek to allocate capital in ways that reduce their tax burden.

答案:

A

1.in the given figure, if the area of the triangle on the right is twice the area of the triangle on the left, then in terms of s, S= ? (答案是:大S=小s的根号2倍) 不会上图,大家想象下:左边是小三角形,右边是大三角形,底边分别是小s和大S,两个图形对应的角的度数相等。怎么算大S?老师,这题没有给出二者 的高,或者高和底边的关系啊,怎么求呢?(刚才看到曼哈顿解释说,假设大三角形的底边=高=4...) 2.读不懂题目意思呢,老师...(答案D) A certain car averages 25 miles per gallon of gasoline when driven in the city and 40 miles per gallon when driven on the highway. According to these rates the following is the closest to the number of miles per gallon that the car averages when it is driven at 10 miles in the city and then 50 miles on the highway? 1)28 2)30 3)33 4)36 5)38 3.DS---M是负数的有限集,M里面各数之和是奇数? (1)M里所有数字的乘积是奇数 (2)M里所有数的积是负数 答案B。 4.到底是赚是赔的题目,请老师讲思路,谢谢~~ Bobby买了2支股票,都是$96/each 卖出,如果他是had a profit of 20% on the sale of one share, but a lost of 20% on the sale of the other, then on the sale of both shares combined Bobby had ....? A. a loss of 8 B. a profit of 8 C.neither a profit nor a loss. 答案是A。 9.函数图形的,按照狗主的说法,这几个图形该怎么看或者怎么画的-。- PS:给出了一下函数图形,问该函数解析式可能是什么。选项记不清了,反正都是正负X^3加减X^2,正负X^3加减X什么的。 10. PS: 一个odd number被7除remainder=3,问下面哪个被14整除 我选的是A:this number+4, 其它选项不记得了.---为什么呢? 2. K is one less than product of all the prime intergers,2-23,inclusive, following choices哪几个成立:K可以被2-23中的几个数整除/K可以被30整除/K可以被大于23的某质数整除 3.为什么不按复利计算呢?(听说的,来问下:GMAT考试电脑上有计算器?) 94年,PAPER TAXED in US is 80billion, 87年开始每年增长700percent,问,87年多少billion 这题纠结了我很久,后来想通了,不按复利,简单计算X(1+7)=80,答案有个10,就选了。 6.什么意思的,大家觉得呢~~谢谢·~ DATA: CUBE, E1 is the midpoint of L1,E2 is the midpoint of L2,求 E1E2? A:Length of cube 5 B:Any plane doesn’t contain E1E2 这题我选C 1、老师,连接半径和圆的交点,然后过圆心做垂线,就是高,对吗这样做? 有一个圆形,给了半径的长度,被去掉了圆心角为120度的扇形一块,然后问此图形折成一个cone(圆锥)之后的 altitude(高度)。
