1.(d) The management of Wonderland plc have become concerned about the increased level of operating costsassociated with its petrol-driven ferries and have made a strategic decision to dispose of these. They are nowconsidering entering into a contract with the Newman Steamship Company (NSC), a shipping organisation basedin Robynland. The contract would entail NSC providing transport to and from Cinola Island for all visitors to thezoo and circus.As a result of negotiations with NSC, the directors of Wonderland plc are considering two options whereby NSCwill become responsible for the transportation of visitors to and from Cinola Island with effect from 1 December2007 or 1 December 2008.Additional information is available as follows:(1) NSC would require Wonderland plc to pay for the necessary modifications to their steamships in order thatthey would satisfy marine regulations with regard to passenger transportation. The only firm which couldundertake this work is currently working to full capacity and would require a payment of £2,450,000 inorder to undertake the work necessary so that the ferries could be in operation by 1 December 2007. Thesame firm would require a payment of £1,725,000 in order to make the necessary modifications so thatthe ferries could be in operation by 1 December 2008. The government of Robynland would be willing topay a grant of 8% towards the cost of getting the ferries into operation by 1 December 2007, but would notbe willing to pay a grant in respect of any later date.(2) On 1 December 2002 Wonderland plc paid £500,000 to the Port Licencing Authority of Robynland. Thispayment was for a licence which entitles Wonderland plc to use all harbour facilities in Robynland duringthe five-year period ending 30 November 2007. The licence could be renewed on 1 December 2007 at acost of £150,000 per annum.(3) Redundancy payments would need to be paid in respect of loss of employment. These would amount to£1,200,000 if the contract with NSC commenced on 1 December 2007. This amount would reduce to£750,000 if the contract commenced on 1 December 2008.(4) Wonderland plc has a contract for the provision of petrol for its ferries which is due to expire on 30 November2008. Early termination of the contract would incur a penalty charge of £76,000. An emergency reservestock of petrol held by Wonderland plc, which cannot be used after 30 November 2007 due to marineregulations regarding the age of fuel, could be sold for £55,000 on 1 December 2007 but not on any datethereafter.(5) The ferries could be sold for £3,300,000 on 1 December 2007. If retained after 1 December 2007 theferries would require servicing during the year ending 30 November 2008 which would incur costsamounting to £150,000. The resale value of the ferries on 1 December 2008 would be £2,900,000.(6) Stock of consumable items which originally cost £150,000 could be sold on 1 December 2007 for£110,000 and on 1 December 2008 for £50,000.Required:(i) On purely financial grounds, advise whether the management of Wonderland plc should enter into acontract with NSC with effect from 1 December 2007 or 1 December 2008. You may ignore the timevalue of money. (9 marks)

    有以下程序#include <stdio.h>void fun(char **p){ p=p+2; printf("%s\n",*p);}main(){ char *a[]={"Morning","Afternoon","Evening","Night"}; fun(a);}程序的运行结果是A.rningB.afternoonC.ternoon D.Evening


    正确答案:D
    本题主要考查指向指针的指针。在程序中,首先定义了一个fun函数,函数无返回类型,函数的形参是一个指向指针的指针变量p,在该函数体中,首先将变量p的值加2,并保存在p中,根据指针变量的特性,这个加2是使指针变量往后移两个单位,如果开始指向第一个元素,现在则指向第三个元素(注意:这里并不是指移动两个字节)。然后输出*p,由于p是一个指向指针的变量,那么*p输出的也不是单个数组,而是一个首地址对应的字符串或数组,在本题中输出的是字符串。
    在主函数中,定义一个指针数组a,并赋初值,然后调用函数fun,实参为a,输出的应该是指针数组中第3个指针对应的字符串,即Evening。
