instead of using cost saving method as a payment. The company accept installation payment, which is zero down payment for the first two years, then the actual cost savings for the next two years. If the oil price is up, then the next two years cost saving is less, so the total payment the company received will be less.
因为新炉子效率高了,生产相同产量asphalt可能消耗的oil数量减少,但是如果油价steady increase, Hotco公司的收入可能会小于零。比如: Hotco的公司的收入 = 500 x 1000 - 450 x 2000.
还有一点需要注意的是此条CR的最后一句话, On installation, the plant will make an estimated payment, which will be adjusted after two years to equal the actual cost. 换言之,以两年后的实际情况做an estimated payment的调整, Hotco有可能会因为油价稳定上涨(E选项)而面临赔钱的尴尬处境。E weaken。
