Compared with the last year, the demand for business books is expected to double this year, while the demand for other types of books is likely to remain unchanged. Accordingly, the owner of Atlas Bookstore has doubled the shop's stock of business books, while keeping the number of other types of books the same as last year. This strategy will increase his overall revenue from book sales as compared to last year. Therefore, though the bookshop only broke even last year, it will be profitable this year.

The argument above is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that the author

Aignores the possibility that the average price of a business book this year may be higher than the average price last year
Bdoes not discuss the conditions that must be met for the demand for business books to double this year over last year's demand
Cdoes not specify what percentage of all books stocked in Atlas Bookstore this year are business books
Dfails to distinguish between profits and revenues
Efails to consider that Atlas Bookstore’s stock of unsold business books from last year might have been greater than the demand for business books this year
