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.

A...不知道对不对。

我的思路是因为inflation对应的是现在的货币购买力，如果用之前的fund来买，相当于多付了。。。

The key is to realize that the future payouts of the contract depend on the VERY first contract. If the government overpaid the contractor in the very first year, the government has no way of re-negotiate a better deal.
