    revenue & profit

    Hy,

    -> President A of the company had an average annual increase of profit by 11%. The former president had a positive rate of 7%. Obviously, Mr. A's marketing efforts caused the increase of 4%.

    Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the above drawn conclusion?

    OA: Just before the change of presidency, the former president bought another company doubling the revenue.

    An increase of revenue does not similarly mean an increase in profit... that's a weak explanation, isn't it?

    I won't be able to comment if I don't see other responses. We have to chose the best answer.
