There's an error in the "Financial Valuations" section

I believe thats end of Ch. 3

One of the questions on PEG (Price Earnings Growth) Ratio

I believe its the second of 2 PEG related questions. I
remember that answer being a mistake.

To be honest, I've been disappointed in Becker's BEC materials.  Compared to FAR and AUD, which were virtually impeccable, BEC is just riddled with typos, bad grammar, misspellings, and poorly worded explanations.  It is driving me crazy to study the Becker book for this reason because my mind focuses on the bad sentences instead of the content.  I think their FAR and AUD have been truly perfected over the years, but much of BEC is still new.  It honestly looked like the book had not been edited.  I am still devoted to Becker but BEC is not up to their usual standards.

@Steelers, yes that one is on beckers updates and academic support, the
correct answer isn't even on the choices a-d

@ DumbButTrying, Becker is great, but really expensive to have this
errors/horrors.

Well I was being a little bit too cranky.  The new guy in BEC 2 (a professor somewhere) was new to me, but once I got into the BEC 3 video, I was back in "the zone" because Peter Olinto had returned to me!  (I'm using Becker 2010 videos to try to pass BEC.)  I learn things really well from Peter Olinto and Tim Gearty but I don't learn from other Becker instructors.  Olinto and Gearty are my spouses.  :)  Because I spend all my free time with them!  Just like they always joke.  "I'll see you Saturday night!"
