Questionsare based on the following passage.

Never before has so much money been made by a single firm in such a short period of time.OnJanuary 27th Tim Cook, the boss of Apple, announced that it had made $18 billion in its latest financialquarter.Apple"s telephone-number-sized profit stemmed largely from sales of its hugely popular iPhone, which accounted for over two-thirds of its $ 74.6 billion revenue.Chief executives rarely admit to being shocked by their companies" performance, but Mr.Cook said it was "hard to comprehend" the extent of the interest in Apple"s products.He noted that, on average,34,000 iPhones were bought every hour of every day during the latest quarter.

Apple is the world"s largest company by market capitalisation (总值) as well as its most profitable.Strikingly, it has risen to greatness using a rather old-Fashioned business model: sellinghighly desirable objects at fat gross margins, which hit almost 40% in the latest quarter.The tech

industry has bred numerous software-based finns, such as Google and Facebook, that don"t have to worry about shifting goods around, yet they make much less than the Colossus of Cupertino.Amazon handles lots of physical goods, but loses money.

Another thing that sets Apple apart from the tech pack is its success in conquering China.Whilerivals have been frustrated there, Apple has just become the largest force in China"s smartphone market measured by units shipped, according to Canalys, a market-research firm.Any failure in China could hurt Apple.The company"s overall dependence on the iPhone is anotherrisk.But these are early days for the iPhone 6, Apple"s latest device, whose bigger screen takes the firminto the "phablet" (平板手机) category of larger phones that are wildly popular with customers.Some

iFans also point out that Apple"s share of the smartphone market is small compared with devices using Google"s Android operating system.So it has plenty of room to grow.Mr.Cook said this week that its much-anticipated smartwatch will go on sale in April.Tim Bajarin of Creative Strategies, a consulting ftrm, thinks Apple could sell 22m -24m in the first 12 months after

the launch, producing billions of dollars of new revenue.Sanford C.Bernstein, a research firm, reckons the watches will have a higher-than-average gross margin, which predicts good profits.Apple should be able to make more money from software and services, too.

A large part of Apple‘s fat profit comes from__________. 查看材料

A.the sales of its smartwatch

B.the sales of its software

C.the sales of its service

D.the sales of its iPhone

Questionsare based on the following passage.

Workers with skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are among the mmost in demand and highest paid.They are seen as key drivers of problem-solving and economic growth, who will help shape the future.And most of them are men.Nadya Fouad, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and her colleagues surveyed more than 5,000 women who had graduated from some of the top universities with engineering degrees over the past six decades.They found that 40 percent had either quit the field or never entered the profession in the first place.For more than two decades, women have accounted for about 20 percent of all engineering degrees.Yet fewer than 11 percent of all engineers are women.For the most part, Fouad found that what really pushed women out were uncivil workplace climates, the expectation to put in long hours of face time in the office, and the feeling that there was little opportunity to advance.Of the women who left the field less than five years ago, two-thirds pursued better opportunities in other fields——72 percent became either managers or executives.One-third said they stayed home with children because their companies didn"t settle work-life conflicts.

It is not about making the women more confident or anything.It"s really about the climate in the workplace, Fouad said.Even women who are staying consider leaving because they don"t have superior support.They don"t have training and development opportunities.And their colleagues are not civil to them, look down upon them, or talk behind their backs.The fmdings add weight and context to previous looks at why more women don"t go into or don"t stay in STEM fields.The previous studies tend

to explain that women aren"t "naturally" smart enough, and that these are careers for men.Furthermore, Fouad makes recommendations to create a good work environment.The problem should be recognized that women aren"t leaving just because they want to spend time with their children.They"re leaving because of the difficult workplace climate and lack of opportunity to advance.The company, starting from the managers, is supposed to invest in professional training which is beneficial to the women"s development and advance.

It is commonly believed that STEM workers__________. 查看材料

A.receive less salary compared with their skills

B.are helpful to promote economic development

C.are more than in demand

D.resolve driving problems

4 The Better Agriculture Group (BAG), which has a divisional structure, produces a range o

4 The Better Agriculture Group (BAG), which has a divisional structure, produces a range of products for the farming

industry. Divisions B and C are two of its divisions. Division B sells a fertiliser product (BF) to customers external to

BAG. Division C produces a chemical (CC) which it could transfer to Division B for use in the manufacture of its

product BF. However, Division C could also sell some of its output of chemical CC to external customers of BAG.

An independent external supplier to The Better Agriculture Group has offered to supply Division B with a chemical

which is equivalent to component CC. The independent supplier has a maximum spare capacity of 60,000 kilograms

of the chemical which it is willing to make available (in total or in part) to Division B at a special price of $55 per

kilogram.

Forecast information for the forthcoming period is as follows:

Division B:

Production and sales of 360,000 litres of BF at a selling price of $120 per litre.

Variable conversion costs of BF will amount to $15 per litre.

Fixed costs are estimated at $18,000,000.

Chemical (CC) is used at the rate of 1 kilogram of CC per 4 litres of product BF.

Division C:

Total production capacity of 100,000 kilograms of chemical CC.

Variable costs will be $50 per kilogram of CC.

Fixed costs are estimated at $2,000,000.

Market research suggests that external customers of BAG are willing to take up sales of 40,000 kilograms of CC at a

price of $105 per kilogram. The remaining 60,000 kilograms of CC could be transferred to Division B for use in

product BF. Currently no other market external to BAG is available for the 60,000 kilograms of CC.

Required:

(a) (i) State the price/prices per kilogram at which Division C should offer to transfer chemical CC to Division

B in order that the maximisation of BAG profit would occur if Division B management implement rational

sourcing decisions based on purely financial grounds.

Note: you should explain the basis on which Division B would make its decision using the information

available, incorporating details of all relevant calculations. (6 marks)
