选项：
A.the same
B.higher
C.lower
解释：
A is correct.
考点: 这道题考的是Integration of FSA techniques一章的market value decomposition。
解析这里是associates,所以用equity method只会增加投资企业的NI 和 investment 资产所以剔除关联公司的影响对EBIT和interest expense都没有影响。
这里要注意的是Shared result一般在EBIT之后列式。
EBIT之后只有tax 和interest expense，为什么investment income要放在EBIT之后呢？
