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 saving between the total amount the asphalt plant actually paid for oil using its former burner during the last two years and the toal 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.
Query: what’s the meaning of the paragraph above?

14. Technological improvements and reduced equipment costs have made converting solar energy directly into electrictity far more cost-efficient in the last decade. However , the threshold of economic viability for solar power (that is, the price per barrel to which oil would have to rise in order for new solar power plants to be more economical than new oil-fired power plants ) is unchanged at thirty-five dollars.
Which of the following, if true, does most to help explain why the increased cost-efficiency of solar power has not descreasd its threshold of economic viability?
A) The cost of oil has fallen dramatically.
B) The reduction in the cost of solar-power equipment has occurred despite increased raw material costs for that equipment.
C) Technological changes have increased the efficiency of oil-fired power plants.
D) Most electricity is generated by coal-fired or nuclear, rather than oil-fired, power plants.
E) When the price of oil increases, reserves of oil not previously worth exploiting become economically viable.
