Dollar increase

by harsh.champ » Sun Feb 07, 2010 12:06 pm
Which company reported the larger dollar increase in earnings?

1. Company A reported that its earnings increased by 5%.
2. Company B reported that its earnings increased by 7%.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

1. Insufficient - the base is not given to calculate the dollar increas
2. Insufficient

Combined also the statements are insufficient to find which company had larger dollar increase
