Question

Car manufacturers often provide a rebate on new car purchases. The offer of a cash reward for purchasing a car is often enough to convince consumers to prefer one American-made model over another.

A certain car manufacturer, a large retailer of luxury cars, has several manufacturer rebate promotions on popular car models in January 2015. To qualify, a person must purchase specific vehicles and subscribe to the rules of the Access Program.

Tab 3:   Access Program levels of benefit  indicates that eligible Customer Loyalty Partners receive 75% of the rebate amount associated with their purchased vehicle, but the other sources do not provide enough information to determine the exact dollar amount of the rebate.

Why is this the third point “no” because it’s at 100% right ?

Sajjad1994 · Answer

Tab 2:   price list for cars  gives a range of costs for each vehicle model, but exact prices are not specified. This third item cannot be determined based on the information given.

mannyp · Answer

The exact rebate amount given to eligible Customer Loyalty Partners who work for the company and purchase Car Model C. The answer should be yes because while they have mentioned trade ins the trade ins would effect the final price of the car not the percentage of rebate redeemed ,that would still be 75% of 2000 $ i.e 1500? Therefore the answer should be yes

RahulJain293 · Answer

Sajjad1994 , we know rebate amount from the first tab and we know 75% of that amount for C model is given. So we can find the answer right?

Sajjad1994 · Answer

In the first Tab the rebate amounts given are suggestive not a concrete value. They are not the exact amounts. Read the word  "Up to" .

tabishkazi · Answer

will this be considered as single question? or these are 3 question. 
for the above given 3 question or a set of question how much time i should be consuming?

Sajjad1994 · Answer

This is one question not three. In the real exam whenever you get a multi-source reasoning question you get a set of three questions.

In the first Tab the rebate amounts given are suggestive not a concrete value. They are not the exact amounts. Read the word  "Up to" .

Then the first question should also be a 'NO' right? with this logic. Since we don't know the read rebate amount.

Exactly what i was thinking. With this logic 1st one is also no because we don't know the 100% of  UPTO  1500.

1a Asks about "Maximum Rebate amount", not the exact. Hence it can be determined.

Niccolo03 · Answer

This question is flawed because on the first point, it assumes that "up to 1500" means "1500 is the ceiling, the 100%" while on third one it assumes that we don't know the exact cash prize, first time I see such an error here in GMAT club. Please fix.

akshitagandhi · Answer

Bunuel  @ Bismuth83  - why can we figure out the maximum rebate in 1st part if that value is also up-to but we cannot figure out 75% in the second part of the question because it is up-to.

Please share an explanation other than the official answer because that language is confusing. Thanks!

bb · Answer

Bismuth83  - can you check this question please and if it’s wrong, let’s archive it and get it out.

BinodBhai · Answer

I will try to answer this based on my understanding since I got this right.

The maximum rebate amount given to eligible Business Partners who purchase Car Model A -  This asks the  maximum , so we can safely tell it will be $1500 as they are eligible for 100% rebate and max it can go is 1500.  YES

The exact rebate amount given to eligible Customer Loyalty Partners who work for the company and purchase Car Model C -  since the table clearly says 'upto' how can I infer the exact amount? It can be anything upto $2000. So  NO

The exact vehicle price paid by an Adaptive Equipment Partner who purchases Car Model B and submits the appropriate paperwork and medical documentation at the time of purchase -  There is a price range given + the rebate is also upto $1k.. so I can't tell the exact amount. So  NO
