Level C
　　This cognitive level is considered the “highest” or most challenging level, and includes items that require you to *uate information.
　　Evaluation: Items in this category are those that require the ability to judge the value of material for a given purpose, based on definite criteria. These questions include those that ask you to appraise, conclude, support, compare, contrast, interpret, and summarize information.
　　Example:
　　A home services organization has been using the straight-line depreciation method for calculating the depreciation expenses of its equipment. Based on recently acquired information, the firm’s assistant controller has altered the estimated useful lives of the equipment. The corresponding changes in depreciation result in a change from a small profit for the year to a loss. The assistant controller is asked by the controller to reduce by half the total depreciation expense for the current year. Believing he is faced with an ethical conflict, the assistant controller reports the problem to the Board of Directors. In accordance with IMA’s Statement of Ethical Professional Practice which one of the following is the correct *uation of the assistant controller’s action?
　　a. The assistant controller’s action was appropriate as an immediate step.
　　b. The assistant controller’s action would have been appropriate only if other alternatives had first been tried.
　　c. The assistant controller’s action was not appropriate under any circumstances.
　　d. Not enough information has been given to *uate the assistant controller’s action.
　　Key = b
　　The situation presented in this item requires you to *uate the course of action that the assistant controller has taken. Option b is the correct option. While the assistant controller’s action is appropriate, the situation may be resolved by less drastic means first. You are asked to make a judgment on the appropriateness of the actions to the situation described, and answer the question on the basis of this information.
