Answer: A) company hd has a lower ROA than company ld.

Explanation:

Company HD has more debt than Company LD which is why they have a higher interest expense. Interest expense is deducted from revenue to reach net profit so Company HD will have a lower profit than Company LD.

Return on Assets is calculated by dividing Net Income by Total assets. With Company HD having a lower net income, it will also have a lower ROA as a result seeing as the numerator will be lower than that of company LD.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer: Copyright law

Copyright is security for tangible aspects of an idea. It is intended to give the creator of something original the ability to use and make money from it, without others being able to use it themselves. There are a number of limitations that do allow for a widespread use, they protect the derivatives of an idea also called intellectual property. Copyright tends to cover literary and artistic work e.g. books, movies. To get a better idea copyright is the reason you just can’t print and sell harry potter books or download pirated movies

Since the "<em>price profit"</em> app is an idea it is protected by the copyright law.
