KPMG 经典 24 题 The classical 24 numerical reasoning 经典的 24 数值推理 一．bar chart below shows the number of temporary and permanent staff working in five regional call centres:1. the actual number of calls taken per hour in region sw fell 10% short of the target set – what was the target number of calls per hour? E(28x200+25x100)/(100%-10%)=9000 2. an increase of 6% in both the number of temporary and permanent staff in region NW is planned. If the average number of calls taken per hour stayed the same for all staff, what would be the increase in the total number of calls taken per hour？ C。 20x250+16x300) x6%=588 3.if the ratio of permanent to temporary staff in region SE was the same as for region E, but the total number of staff remained the same, what would be the change in calls handled per hour? B Region E (permanent: temporary)=3:2 Region SE Total: 400 ，Permanent: 150 Temporary: 250 (New) Permanent: 400x3/5=240 ， Temporary: 400x2/5=160 所以我们可以得出 P 增加了 90 人，T 减少了 90 人 90x(30-18)=1080 (我们可以用其他方法算，但是却不是最节约时间的算法) 4.which two regions had the highest total number of calls handed per hour by permanent staff? E 目测， （SE 和 SW 的 P 每小时接的电话数是最高的，而且 SW 的 P 的人数多，所 以总数上 SW 可定比 SE 要高。虽然 E 的每小时接电话数不高，但是他人数最多， 所以总数也很高）二．table below shows coach travel limited’s ticket prices and sales targets to three destinations over a 4-week period: average destination 4-week sales week 1 week 2 price per ticket target revenue revenue hopworth 48 43200 11232 12096 jumpford 50 80000 21600 19200 skipdown 40 16000 4160 4640 5. if the combined sales target to all three destinations over the current period in creased by 5%,what is the total amount of revenue that remains to be earned by the end of this four-week period in order to meet the target ? C (43200+80000+16000) x105%-11232-12096-21600-19200-4160-4640=73232 6. for the next four-week period ,the intention is to sell 120 tickets to skipdown per week at the same average price.compared to the current four-week period,by what percentage would the revenue target for skipdown increase?

This act covers any information stored on a computer that identifies a living individual. Companies holding such information must, under the terms of the act , make sure that they take adequate care of the data , both technically and in terms of the behavior of the organization. The personal data stored has to be protected from loss, destruction or damage. Example1. any information stored about a named individual currentlyworking for an organization is subject to the data protection act. Example1. T Example2. as long as any data about a named individual is managed in a technically adequate way , there are no other restrictions as to how it can be used or handled.F Example3 . damage to data held about named individuals represents the biggest threat to its proper management . C Example4. data about named individuals who have left a company is not subject to the act. FSection A Competitor analysis involves the examination of competitors in order that the planner can develop and sustain superior competitive performance for the organization. This statement belies the fact that in order to do this one must first establish from where the competition currently stems and from where it might stem in the future. One also has to consider and appraise competitors’ present and likely future objectives and strategies, and their likely reactions to the competitive moves that an organization might make. 1. planners can only sustain superior performance for their organization by doing competitor analysis. 原 文 是 说 Examination of competitors 使 得 planner can develop and sustain„,而不是 competitor analysis.至于 competitor analysis 可以不可 以，文中没提，所以 CAN’T SAY。 2. effective competitor analysis involves looking into the future. 文中第二句话，„.where it might stem in the future. 所以是 T。有些人 认为是错的，因为文中说“must first establish from where the competition currently stem„”.但是题目是说“involves” ,并没有说 only involve,所 以这题是对的。 3. it is easier to establish where competition currently stems from, rather than where it might stem from in the future. 仍然是文中第二句话，这与话里的关联词是 and,是并列关系，不存在比较关系。 究竟有没有比较关系我们不清楚，所以是 CAN’T SAY. (通常情况下，问题里有 比较关系的，答案都是 CAN’T SAY。 4. it is not always apparent to organizations who their competitors are. 文中根本没有提及。所以 CAN’T SAY.Section B The model of consumer behavior on which neo-classical demand theory is based implies that consumers are perfectly informed about the price and quality characteristics of the products on offer, and are constantly altering their expenditure patterns in response to price and quality changes, so as to maximize their total utility (satisfaction). This model is unrealistic, as the range of products on offer in modern markets is immense, and no consumer has the knowledge or inclination to acquire the information that would be needed to make choices in this way. 5. being up to date with product information plays little part in neo-classical demand theory. 文中第一句话第二行里 perfectly informed 和 little part 意思相反，所以 F。 6. neo-classical demand theory is only one of a number of models of consum er behavior. 文中没有提及。CAN’ SAY 一般问题中有 only,都是错，或是没有提及。 7. there are some consumers who are perfectly informed about the price and quality characteristics of products on offer. 第一句话，第二行。文中是说 consumers,而不是 some consumers.范围错了。 所以是 F。 8. maximizing the total utility of a product purchase implies consideration of both price and quality characteristics. 文中第三，第四行，意思相同，所以 T。Section C The business of the company shall be managed by the directors who, subject to the law, the memorandum and articles of association, and any direction given by special resolution, may exercise all the powers of the company. The minimum number of directors is two; there is no maximum number. The directors, or the company by special resolution, may appoint as a director any person who is willing to act as a director, provided he or she is not a bankrupt or disqualified from acting as a director under the insolvency act. Directors need not hold shares in the company, but normally they will be required to hold at least a specific minimum shareholding. 9. new directors tend to be appointed by existing directors rather than by special resolution. 文中是用 AND 连接的并列关系，而不是比较关系。是否有比较关系不清楚，文 中为提及。所以ＣＡＮ＇Ｔ ＳＡＹ。10. the company cannot operate with only one director. Ｔ 文中第３行， “The minimum number of directors is two,„” 11. individual bankruptcy is governed by the insolvency act. 文中倒数第３行。这句话是说 appointed as a director under Insolvency Act, 而不是 individual bankruptcy.至于 individual bankruptcy 是不是也 under Insolvency Act，文中未提及，所以ＣＡＮ＇Ｔ ＳＡＹ． 12. there is no upper limil to the number of shares any director can hold. 文中最后一句话，只涉及到最少，没有说到上限，所以ＣＡＮ’T SAY.Section D In most organizations, conflict between groups is quite common. Organizations usually develop differences between functional groups, such as sales and manufacturing, as a means of responding to diversity and uncertainty in their particular environment. Manufacturing must organize for stability and efficiency while sales must organize to relate to and service customers. To accomplish these diverse tasks, sales must hire different people from manufacturing, and each must manage its people in accordance with their unique expectations and the functions’ task requirements. If such differences did not exist, neither group could get its job done effectively. 13. Functional groups within a single organization are not subject to different forms of uncertainty. 文中第二句话，于第二句意思相反，所以 F 14. Conflict between groups is the inevitable result of functional groups having to respond to their own unique environments. 文中倒数第二句，同义。T 15. Manufacturing and sales are unlikely to have the same goals and expectations. 文中未提及 goals and expectations. 所以 CAN’T SAY (一般 UNLIKELY，这种 词出现，都是 C)—一般如果出了没见过的名词基本上都是 C 16. the reality of functional differences does mean that different groups cannot operate effectively. 最后一句话，意思相反，F。Section EUnless companies have some knowledge of buyer behavior, they would be unaware of and unfamiliar with the complex range of behavioral factors that impinge upon purchasing behavior. The truth is that, like much of human behavior, purchase behavior is complex and multi-faceted. Even the simplest of purchasing decisions is an amalgam of behavioral forces and factors of which even the simplest of purchasing decisions is an amalgam of behavioral forces and factors of which even the purchaser may not be aware. However, even though consumer behavior is a complex subject marketing planners should at least have some understanding of it. Marketers are specifically interested in the behavior associated with groups or segments of consumers as it would be impossible to serve the exact needs and wands of specific individuals in a market and remain profitable. 17.The purchasing behavior of consumers is unpredictable. 主语，宾语很重要 文中未明确提及 unpredictable 或是 Predictable。所以 CAN’T SAY 18. even if one could predict the behavior of an individual buyer, it would not be profitable for marketers to try to do so . Ｔ 最后一句话，意思相同。 19. some consumer groups exhibit more complex behacior than others do. CAN’T SAY 文中没有这个比较，有比较级一般都是 C 20. purchase behavior is not subject to the same whims as other aspects of human behavior. 文中第三行。意思相反。F （一般有 not subject to,都是 F）Section F When any company moves from a sales to a marketing approach, it is not just a case of re-titling the sales director as marketing director and doubling the advertising budget. It requires a compete reorientation in thinking and a revolution in how a company organizes and practices its business activities. Whereas selling focuses on the needs of the seller, marketing focuses on the needs of the buyer, whereas selling is preoccupied with the seller’s need to convert his or her product into cash, marketing is preoccupied with the idea of identifying and hence satisfying the needs of the customer. However, subscribing to a philosophy of marketing, even thought an important first step, is not the same as putting that philosophy into practice. 21. advertising budgets are normally doubled when a company moves overto a marketing approach. 这道题很 tricky. 问题并没有说是什么 move over to a marketing approach, 会 normally doubled.所以ＣＡＮ＇Ｔ SAY。
