Because of his business's recent success, sam has decided to expand his sam's swimming pool cleaning to include another branch. this will add expenses for another office and payroll for five more employees, but sam's customer base will stay the same, at least for a while. until sam's new branch starts bringing in new customers, how will this change affect sam's net profit margin?

a.
an added expense of a new branch has nothing to do with sam's net profit margin.
b.
since the new branch is adding expenses, sam's net profit margin will go down.
c.
since the new branch is adding expenses, sam's net profit margin will go up.
d.
since the expense the new branch is adding is negligible, sam should see no change in his net profit margin.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
