: Goronian lawmaker: Goronia’s Cheese Importation
Board, the agency responsible for inspecting all wholesale shipments of cheese
entering Goronia from abroad and rejecting shipments that fail to meet
specified standards, rejects about one percent of the cheese that it inspects.
Since the health consequences and associated costs of not rejecting that one
percent would be negligible, whereas the cost of maintaining the agency is not,
the agency’s cost clearly outweighs the benefits it provides.
Knowing the answer to which of the following would be
most useful in evaluating the lawmaker’s argument?
A: Are any of the types of cheeses that are imported
into Goronia also produced in Goronia?
B: Has the Cheese Importation Board, over the last
several years, reduced its operating costs by eliminating inefficiencies within
the agency itself?
C: Does the possibility of having merchandise rejected
by the Cheese Importation Board deter many cheese exporters from shipping
substandard cheese to Goronia?
D: Are there any exporters of cheese to Goronia whose
merchandise is never rejected by the Cheese Importation Board?
E: How is the cheese rejected by the Cheese
Importation Board disposed of?
