Take the following as truth: In contrast, fixed-priced contracts, except those subject to price adjustment, provide for a preestablished firm price, place maximum risk and full responsibility for all costs and resulting profit or loss on the contractor, and provide maximum incentive for the contractor to control costs and perform effectively.
Then the following statement: "Fixed-price contracts are preferable to customers over variable-rate contracts." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: Inconclusive
