问题如下：
3. Based on Abay’s criteria, the business segment best suited for divestiture is:
选项：
A.medical equipment.
B.power and industrial.
C.automation equipment.
解释：
B is correct.
The Power and Industrial segment has the lowest EBIT margins but uses about 31 percent of the capital employed. Further, Power and Industrial’s proportion of the capital expenditures has increased from 32 percent to 36 percent over the three years. Its capital intensity only looked to get worse, as the segment’s percentage of total capital expenditures was higher than its percentage of total capital in each of the three years. If Abay is considering divesting segments that do not earn sufficient returns on capital employed, this segment is most suitable.
解析：考点是capital allocation decision。首先计算部门的capEX%/Asset%，Power部门2007和2009年的capEX%/Asset%分别是1.07和1.13，说明公司对Power部门在加速投资，capEX%从2007年的32%增加到了2009年的36%，也就是Power部门的capital expenditures占了公司总capital expenditures的约1/3，但是Power部门的EBITmargin是三个部门最低的，因此如果公司要选择一个部门降低投资，Power部门是最合适的。
capEX%/Asset%，Power部门2007和2009年的capEX%/Asset%分别是1.07和1.13，说明公司对Power部门在加速投资，capEX%从2007年的32%增加到了2009年的36%，也就是Power部门的capital expenditures占了公司总capital expenditures的约1/3，请问1.07, 1.13， 32%，36%是怎么计算出来的，跟题目中的EBIT又有什么关系。答案写的不是很详细，麻烦老师再详细说明一下思路和计算过程。
