Question
In a locality, all the local electricians follow a
cost-plus method to charging fees for their services. The electrician charges for all items used in the work, and adds a set percentage.Which of the following statements, if true, would be the best basis for a criticism of "cost-plus" pricing as an economically beneficial method for customers of the electrician's service?Solution
As per the argument, electricians in an area decide the fees they charge for their services as a certain percentage of the cost of the items used in performing their services. This means higher the cost of those items, higher would be the fees received by the electrician. In such a case, it would be in the interest of the electrician to use the most expensive items even if they are not needed. The same criticism is given in option (c).Thus, option (3) is the right answer.
