What Is a Burden Cost?

Cost generally refers to the general term for a series of activities such as cost accounting, cost analysis, cost decision-making, and cost control during the production and operation of an enterprise. The cost burden refers to the costs that should be borne by the relevant parties, and is a concept of cost sharing. Generally two or more talents are needed.

Cost burden

Judging from the two sets of plans thrown out, residential users will pay more for gas above 251 cubic meters per year, and the excess will be charged at the second-grade price. If the citizens question that the first volume is more based on the consideration that a larger family will consume more, then compared with other cities, Guangzhou's standards are unquestionably low. For example, the first and second sets of Dongguan's first-stage gas consumption are 300 cubic meters and 370 cubic meters per year, respectively, which are both higher than Guangzhou. The difference between the two plans is also more obvious than Guangzhou. Shenzhen's pricing is divided into summer and winter. The first gas consumption in summer is 35 cubic meters per month, and winter is 45 cubic meters per month, which are also higher than Guangzhou.

Regarding the problem of low basic gas consumption, the person in charge admitted that the gas consumption in Guangzhou was indeed relatively low in the Pearl River Delta, but there was no way to do it, because the calculation based on the average gas consumption in the previous three years was the same, According to the calculation, 80% of residents' gas costs will not increase. This means that another 20% of residents may pay more for gas.

Therefore, at least two questions must be asked: first, how reliable is this unilateral measurement? Secondly, is Guangzhou's first-stage gas consumption standard lower than that of other cities? Is it really because there is "no way"?

These questions fall into the core issue, that is, the purpose of implementing stepped gas prices is to save gas. If the gas volume is set too high, it will not be used to save gas. If it is set too low, the burden on residents will increase. Then, what is the "high", What is "low" must have a convincing basis. Even if it is estimated that 20% of the residents have to pay more for gas, the factors should be unambiguous. At the same time, the implementation of the step price for water takes into account the number of households and the price of electricity is not taken into account, and the adjustment of gas prices chooses to follow the price of electricity rather than water. This is why it should be fully explained.

It is said that the adjustment of gas prices is to adapt to future changes in the supply of multiple gas sources, solve the cost burden and operating risks of gas operating companies, and alleviate the contradiction between upstream and downstream prices. The sales price of pipeline natural gas will be adjusted dynamically in accordance with the cost of gas purchases. It is not difficult to see that the gas price adjustment is also "Xiangzhuang Dance Sword and intended to be public", but the ass sits more on the side of the enterprise, making the "purpose is to save gas" look grand. Moreover, the so-called "cost burden" also involves the problem of accurate cost accounting. Previously, the adjustment of water prices and electricity prices have exposed problems such as unauthorized increases in operating units' costs and neglect of mismanaged increase in expenses. If the gas cost accounting is also a "blunder", it cannot be guaranteed to be accurate and credible, and the so-called "dynamic adjustment" of prices eventually falls into the "only rising but not falling" formula, which will inevitably leave a handle. "Xiangzhuang dances swords, intends to be public", but the ass sits more on the side of the company, making the "purpose is to save gas" look grand. Moreover, the so-called "cost burden" also involves the issue of accurate cost accounting. Previously, water and electricity The adjustments have all exposed problems such as unauthorized increase in cost by management units, and neglecting to increase expenditures due to poor management. If gas cost accounting is also a blunder, it cannot ensure accuracy and credibility, and the so-called dynamic adjustment of prices will eventually fall. Into the "only ascending but not descending" of the mortar, will inevitably leave the stem.
