Hotco oil burners, designed to be used in aphalt plants, are so efficient that Hotco will sell one to the cost savings between the total amount the asphalt plant actually paid for oil using its former burner during the last two years and the total 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 occured, would constitute a disadvantage for Hotco of the plan describe above?

(A)Another manufaturer'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 begining soon after the new burner is installed

答案:(E)

這題我雖然我選對了...不過是猜的，題目要找缺點，因為題目有提到installation，我覺得好像有可能，所以我就猜了(E)，但我看不是很懂題目。是否有哪一位高手可以幫忙解答呢？
