Current Defense Working Capital Fund (DWCF) rules generally prescribe use to expected average cost transfer pricing. However, analysis of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), as an example, suggests DFAS has considerable fixed costs. These fixed costs are problematic under present DWCF pricing rules. Its customer demand levels fall short of expectations, DFAS renevues fall commensurably, but costs almost certainly do not. It would be more consistent with DFAS'S cost structure if DFAS could utilizie nonlinear pricing. Such a pricing approach would give DFAS (versus trying to do it themselves or turning it over to contractors). We hypothesize that insights from DFAS may be applicable to other governmental working capital fund entities as well
