题目说的是LARGEST EFFECT ON THE INCREASE IN EBIT。可能the capitalization of interest costs 对EBIT的影响最大。答案没有考虑the capitalization of interest costs 会带来DEPRECIATION。如果题目说DEPRECIATION是10,那么the capitalization of interest costs 就增加了EBIT20.这个20就是三个选项中对EBIT影响最大的。
depreciation and amortization is included in operating expenses, if the depreciation increase, the operating income should decrease. 但是题目中EBIT为什么是increase?
