(D) - first time buyers proportion should be less to get more profit for the same sales volume.

D - since the number of first time buyers were lower last year and computer sales were the same. We can conclude that the number of second time buyers were higher. Hence larger profits.

1st time buyers: less profit margin
replacement: greater profit margin

if the # of computers sold did not change, then it means that there were more replacement computers sold than 1st time buyer computers

obvious answer D

C is actually saying the opposite what the stem tells us

Question has got a lot of jargon in it.

All u gotta realize is that this year: profits increased but everything else is the same.

Only D makes sense here.
