| danlan2 | I: economic rational behind the method of comparables is the law of one price. |
| broadex | Why not B |
| rana1970 | Word "absolutely" makes C incorrect. It's relatively cheaper. |
| gregsob2 | @broadex: a P/E of 10 represents at each $1 invested generates $0.10 (10 = 1/.1) |
| vadfir | Read the question again. It asks for FALSE statement. Word "absolutely" makes C false, therefore correct answer. |
| davidt876 | thats what rana meant vad |
