Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bell Canada's statement emphasizes their focus on sales revenue over the next five years, implying a willingness to maintain or increase sales levels, even if profitability may not be at its maximum. This suggests to shareholders that their concerns about the long-term sustainability and profitability of the company may not be adequately addressed. Choice A suggests a focus on profitability at the expense of sales, which contradicts the statement. Choice B suggests a focus on maintaining sales levels and maximizing profitability, which also contradicts the statement. Choice D suggests a decrease in sales levels, which does not align with Bell Canada's stated focus on sales revenue.
