定位原文:

文章第二段寫道:"Delta Motors... switched from an Asian semiconductor supplier to a regional partner in Europe. While the unit cost is approximately 12% higher, Delta Motors reports that the reduction in shipping delays and inventory holding costs has actually improved their overall profit margins."

(Delta Motors 將晶片供應商從亞洲轉向歐洲區域夥伴。雖然單價高出約 12%,但運輸延遲與庫存持有成本的降低,實際上改善了他們的整體利潤率。)

選項比較:
-
(A) Their production costs increased significantly.(他們的生產成本大幅增加。)——原文僅提單件成本高 12%,但整體利潤改善,非此決策主要造成的最終結果描述。
-
(B) They experienced more shipping delays.(他們遇到了更多運輸延遲。)——與原文相反,運輸延遲是「減少」(reduction in shipping delays)。
-
(C) Their overall profit margins improved.(他們的整體利潤率獲得改善。)—— (正確選項,與原文直接對應)
-
(D) They were forced to close a factory.(他們被迫關閉一家工廠。)——文中未提及。
