achu | Investment ROI is clearly distinct from Equity (ROE). Investment could mean more than just equity, only B is right "all the time." C would be right if you knew that all investments were equity but in general that's not true. |
omf24 | ROA is the same as ROI. |
DS12 | Think about how acquiring assets for the firm is an investing activity in the cash flow statement. Therefore the assets of the company are the company's "investment" |

Inaganti6 | Got it wrong but great question....makes the $99 for this site feel so worth it. |

I am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
