Therefore (C) is the right answer.
Correct Answer is A. Total Assets is the measure in which firm's decision to capitalize its expenditure instead of expense them.
option C=====================
C. Cash outflows from operations.
The correct option is B) debt-to-equity
The rational of this option is that if the firm decides to capitalize its expenditures which already have been incurred or paid then such measure would increase the value of total assets instead of any decrease and also such decision doesn't have any impact on cash flow from operation because cash is not flowing out it by way expenditures it is only capitalizing .
The only measure would be decreased is debt-to-equity ratio, because as a result of capitalization fixed or total assets will increase consequently it will increase equity (Assets-Liabilities =Equity) and total liabilities are intact or no change in it so that debt -to-equity ration will be decreased or equity will be improved against total debt.
