| SRI2010 | Profitability increases by the amount that is capitalized. Had it been expensed, the operating income would have decreased. |
| sarasyed5 | what is the difference between being more profitable n having a higher revenue? |
| khalifa92 | revenue is sales before deducting anything profitable means after deduction everything we still have a higher NI |
| VazquezCol | Profitability is measured by Net Profit Margin, ROE or ROA (or others). A is correct only during early years, after that the answer would incorrect. The only reason to make A the correct answer is because B and C are false all the time, making A the only option that contains some truth in it |
I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
