1. What effect would a $10.92 million operating expense have on this year's earnings? What effect would it have on next year's earnings? (Select all the choices that apply.)
A. $10.92 million operating expense would be immediately expensed, increasing operating expenses by $10.92
million. This would lead to a reduction in taxes of 25%×$10.92 million=$2.73 million.
