Answer 1

The false statement is letter "D": Operating Investment is generated from utilizing existing assets after deducting interest expense.

Step-by-step explanation:

Operating investments are daily processes conducted by a company to generate income. They pertain to the core business activities such as sales and manufacturing and they provide most of the cash flow that determines whether a business is profitable. Those investments focus on improving the operational performance to create profit in the form of increased value.

In option "D", operating investment is related to deducting interest expenses but actually that process does not belong to it, making the statement false.
