参考解答
Ans:C.
If all development costs had been expensed then net income would be reduced by the amount spent, and increased by the amortization of the previously capitalized amounts: 225-25+10=210 million.
ROA=210/1,875=11.2%.
CFO would be lower by the amount spent on development 290-25=265 million.
Note: the amortization of previous development costs is a non-cash expense so does not affect cash flow.
