自己认为我还是理解了OG的解释:希望对大家有帮助. 以下选项中,哪个选项是最反对”历史成本法对于军事contract来讲,是经济上健全的定价方法. 结论: (说法1)因为X(1+当前通货膨胀率)=Y. 所以成本定价法对于军事contract来讲,是经济上健全的定价方法. (说法2):通过X(1+当前通货膨胀率)=Y.所以成本定价法对于军事contract来讲,是经济上健全的定价方法. 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.(政府要继续支付以前无效的funds.)(ETS的理解:一个合理定价策略应该在存在无效资金情况,至少体现价格的降低.但是X(1+当前通货膨胀率)=Y,没有体现.政府要继续去支付那些无效的funds.)(original price应该包括无效funds,但是历史成本法,只考虑original price,去没有剔除无效funds,----à根据历史成本法,政府需要继续支付以前无效的funds.)--à所以说,它不是一个合理定价策略. 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. Hense. A is the best answer. B. The rate of inflation has varied considerably over the past twenty years.(过去20年,通货膨胀率都变化.)(通货膨胀率变动,已经在经济上健全的成本定价法体现) Because historical costing responds to inflation, B is consistent with the economic soundness of historical costing—the rate of inflation that is reflected in inflation. C. The contractual price will be greatly affected by the cost of materials used for the products.(合同价格将被用于产品的材料成本影响))(材料成本只会影响X(合同价格),也已经在成本法中体现.) C is consistent with the economic soundness of historical costing—costs that are reflected in inflation. D. Many taxpayers question the amount of money the government spends on military contracts.(许多taxpayer都置疑政府会花大量的钱与军事contract上.)(否定政府保护military contract,并没有否定成本定价法对于军事contract来讲,是经济上健全的定价方法.) D offers no grounds for questioning the economic soundness of historical costing in particular E. The pricing method based on historical costing might not encourage the development of innovative weapons.(建立在历史成本法基础上定价方法可能并不鼓励创新武器的发展.)(历史成本法只运用标准武器,并没有运用在创新武器上..) Historical costing applies to standard weapons only, not to the innovative weapons that are mentioned in E |
