B. 275.
C. 290.
参考解答
Ans:A.
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. 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.
