13.The following appeared in a memo from the chief executive of a video game company.
"We have recently been offered the opportunity to buy the rights to produce a video game based on the soon-to-be-published children's book "Squirrel Power," by Peter Wood. While the cost of the rights is substantial and will place economic constraints on our company in the short-term, there are two reasons that the purchase of these rights will undoubtedly be a wise investment. First, Wood's last three books have been best sellers and the movie based on his first book was highly profitable. Second, the popular characters and story line in "Squirrel Power" will save us time in developing our video game, thereby reducing our costs."
A、PW的前三本書買得好并不能夠保證他的第四本書SP也能夠買得好。
B、即使第四本書SP也能夠賣得好，也不代表根據(jù)該書改編的游戲能夠暢銷，兩者屬于不同類型的產(chǎn)品，擁有不同的屬性和用戶群，電影熱賣也不能說(shuō)明問(wèn)題，因?yàn)殡娪昂陀螒蛉匀粚儆诓煌漠a(chǎn)品，擁有不同的用戶群。
C、即使該游戲能夠熱賣，該游戲公司也未必能夠賺到錢。正如作者所說(shuō)，購(gòu)買該版權(quán)將花費(fèi)大量資金，而且作者并沒有說(shuō)明開發(fā)該游戲?qū)⒁ㄙM(fèi)的資金。根據(jù)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)常識(shí)，利潤(rùn)等于銷售額減去成本，如果該游戲廠商成本很大的話，即使游戲熱賣，也未必能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)盈利，甚至可能虧損。
14.The following appeared in a memo from the owner of Green Thumb Gardening Center, a small business serving a suburban town.
"There is evidence that consumers are becoming more and more interested in growing their own vegetables. A national survey conducted last month indicated that many consumers were dissatisfied with the quality of fresh vegetables available in supermarkets. And locally, the gardening magazine Great Gardens has sold out at the Village News stand three months in a row. Thus, we at Green Thumb Gardening Center can increase our profits by greatly expanding the variety of vegetable seeds we stock for gardeners this coming spring."
A、首先，懷疑該全國(guó)性調(diào)查樣本的隨機(jī)性是否足夠。如果該樣本隨機(jī)性不夠，則不能夠代表整個(gè)消費(fèi)者人群，因而無(wú)法支持作者的觀點(diǎn)(unwarranted conclusion)。即使該全國(guó)性調(diào)查滿足樣本隨機(jī)性，那也是全國(guó)范圍的，對(duì)于該鎮(zhèn)并不一定成立。例如該鎮(zhèn)可能農(nóng)業(yè)比較發(fā)達(dá)，蔬菜比較新鮮，那么消費(fèi)者就不會(huì)抱怨蔬菜不夠新鮮。
B、即使該調(diào)查的結(jié)果符合該鎮(zhèn)的具體情況，人們對(duì)蔬菜的新鮮度不滿意，并不能夠說(shuō)明人們就會(huì)喜歡種植他們自己的蔬菜，這里面不存在必然聯(lián)系。因?yàn)榉N植蔬菜可能比較繁瑣，或者有些人沒有終止場(chǎng)所，該地區(qū)氣候不適宜等。
C、GG雜志賣完不能夠說(shuō)明很多人喜歡種植自己的蔬菜，可能該雜志發(fā)行量本來(lái)就很小，或者說(shuō)該雜志內(nèi)還有其他的娛樂(lè)類信息吸引讀者，或者該雜志進(jìn)行了有獎(jiǎng)促銷等等。
D、即使該鎮(zhèn)居民越來(lái)越熱衷于種植自己的蔬菜，也不一定會(huì)給GTGC公司帶來(lái)更多的利潤(rùn)，經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)常識(shí)告訴我們，利潤(rùn)等于銷售總額減去成本。如果GTGC公司運(yùn)營(yíng)種子銷售成本很高，例如種子本身成本，以及GTGC公司的宣傳廣告等品牌創(chuàng)造成本等，那么GTGC不但可能不會(huì)盈利，甚至有可能會(huì)虧本。另外，居民可能只喜歡種植少數(shù)的幾種菜，那么增加種子多樣性不會(huì)提高該公司種子的銷售量。
