Hotco oil burners, designed to be used in asphalt
plants, are so efficient that Hotco will sell one to the
Clifton Asphalt plant for no payment other than the
cost savings between the total amount the asphalt
plant actually paid for oil using its former burner
during the last two years and the total amount it will
pay for oil using the Hotco burner during the next two
years. On installation, the plant will make an estimated
payment, which will be adjusted after two years to
equal the actual cost savings.
Which of the following, if it occurred, would constitute
a disadvantage for Hotco of the plan described above?
(A) Another manufacturer’s introduction to the
market of a similarly efficient burner
(B) The Clifton Asphalt plant’s need for more than
one new burner
(C) Very poor efficiency in the Clifton Asphalt plant’s
old burner
(D) A decrease in the demand for asphalt
(E) A steady increase in the price of oil beginning
soon after the new burner is installed

A Th e burner is already installed, so a competitor is not a problem.
B Th e plant’s need for multiple burners should be an opportunity for Hotco, not a disadvantage.
C If the old burner was very inefficient, the new burner should save a great deal of money that
would ultimately go to Hotco.
D If demand decreases, less oil would need to be purchased, and Hotco would get more money.
E Correct. Th is statement properly identifies a factor that would constitute a disadvantage for the
plan: since the payment for the burner is based on savings in oil purchases, any increases in the
price of oil will decrease savings and thus decrease payments to Hotco.
Th e correct answer is E.

有待商榷的答案,供讨论一二:
E:安装之后油价持续攀升;
D:asphalt这种东西的市场需求下降了;
内燃机制造商的定价策略逻辑是:卖内燃机不收价款,只收取客户过去2年的实际燃油消费总额与假定使用该款新式高效能内燃机后2年的预期燃油消费总额这2个数额之间的差额,作为购买新式内燃机的对价。

于是,基于上述分析,偶以为,应该是D更确定些,说明终端产品需求下降,那么未来2年的燃油消费总额就下降了,于是内燃机制造商的对价策略就面临风险,因为一个下降的未来的数额,面对一个固定的过去2年的实际消费总额,其差额在不断下降,不排除负数,于是,这种策略被WEAKEN了。

大家分析。

E:安装使用这款新式内燃机之后油价持续攀升,反而会造成未来2年油费总额较高,反而正中内燃机制造商的下怀,因为差额更高了。

文章的意思是,Hotco燃油炉是专门设计来给沥青工厂用的。而这个燃油炉很节约钱,卖了一个燃油炉给CLIFTON沥青工厂,而只需要工厂将过去两年与未来两年的用油的差价付给HOTCO就可以了。在安装的时候,沥青工厂就先估计一个付款,两年之后在调整成实际的用油差价。

谢谢啊。很明了呢!
