OG-cr第三十题

30. The price the government pays for standard weapons purchased from military contractors is determined by a
pricing method called “historical costing.” Historical costing allows contractors to protect their profits by adding a
percentage increase, based on the current rate of inflation, to the previous year’s contractual price.
Which of the following statements, if true, is the best basis for a criticism of historical costing as an economically
sound pricing method for military contracts?
A. The government might continue to pay for past inefficient use of funds.
B. The rate of inflation has varied considerably over the past twenty years.
C. The contractual price will be greatly affected by the cost of materials used for the products.
D. Many taxpayers question the amount of money the government spends on military contracts.
E. The pricing method based on historical costing might not encourage the development of innovative
weapons.

答案是A。解释是
If the original contractual price for the weapons purchased incorporated an inefficient use of funds, then, since
historical costing merely adds to the original price, it preserves these inefficiencies. An economically sound
pricing method should at least allow the possibility of reductions in price as such inefficiencies are removed.
Hence, A is the best answer.

但我还是不能理解,哪位大虾能点播一下。

本来是为了节省开支.可是文中说的根据从前的价钱浮动之后成为当前购买价钱. 如果从前的购买价钱是不合理的呢? 那么你仍然是换汤不换料地付钱,不是亏了么.
