enlisted privates perform approximately similar functions with similar military zapability, the disparity in their respective price levels seemed excessive and the approach would appear to lead to the overvaluing of the expenditures on enlisted privates. In the other approach, conscripted and enlisted privates were treated as the same item or product and their prices were compared directly.
