during the Years 11-15.
B. At rates that can range from as little as 5% annually to as high as 15% annually

Which of the following is NOT one of the benefits of current-year and cumulative
expenditures for camera/drone product R&D?

once it reaches $25 million annually and a cumulative total of $100 million, allows the
size of PATs to be reduced from 4 persons to 2 persons
B. Increasing the productivity of PATs in assembling camera/drone models (because
of easier to assemble product designs); the size of this benefit occurs immediately
and varies according to the current and cumulative amounts spent
C. Boosting a company's P/Q ratings (the size of this benefit varies with the current
and cumulative amounts spent and shows up in the P/Q ratings at the beginning of
the following year)

leading ROE performance of 30% that happens to be 5 percentage pts above the
investor-expected ROE of 25% earns a score of 20 pts plus a 5pt bonus for
achieving an ROE that is 5 percentage pts above the investor-expected ROE.
