kodali doesn't B imply C
johasan As for B, its addresses the current assets and not long term assets.
moneyguy I thought so, too, kodali. Johasan is right. We have to read these questions carefully!
Inaganti6 it's generally a case of what's what's MORE right. in this case long term assets are the issue not current assets and current assets are not subject to depreciation
