The table present gives ad revenue figures for US media publications and their parent company. For each periodical, the table gives 2005 and 2006 ad revenue. For 2006, it offers more detail for each publication, with the metrics shown.
CPM stands for Cost per Mil. It's an industry metric that describes the advertising cost charged to advertisers for every 1000 in impressions reached. Each reader looking at one page of a magazine counts as an impression so CPM = Ad Revenue / (Readership * Pages) / 1000. Magazines charge advertisers at the CPM rate, which varies based on the demographics of a magazine's readership.
Consider each of the following statements about the ad revenue figures. For each statement, indicate whether the statement is true or false, based on the information provided in the table.

A)No, since for time the number and values are higher than those of Condenest so Time will have overall higher increments
Condenest will have total increment roughly around ~ 310000000 while Time will have total increment roughly around ~ 330000000
B)Yes,for 24 values the Ad revenue per reader > Cost per impression
C) Yes,since people weekly has the Highest readership and it also brings the highest more revenue (in $) per dollar charged for advertising impressions in 2006, since that quantity also depends on the product of readership and total pages

About the item C...."People Weekly" indeed has the Highest readership (41,791,992 people). Yes, it also have the highest revenue ($872,662,782) during 2006. But its revenue per impression (CPM) is only $5.58 of revenue per 1000 impressions... it is the lowest CPM on the table. And the question asks for the "revenue (in $) per dollar charged for advertising impressions in 2006.". Therefore I believe that the item C has "No" as the answer.
Do we have a OE @Sajjad1994 ?
