Provide a recommendation on which product launch (A or B) provides the most value to the company in terms of strengthening its financial position, using the "DuPont Method" (also referred to as the "Return on Equity" model), to compare the income statement and balance sheet from both product launches. The analysis will focus on how the company is able to generate returns between these two product launches based on how these two scenarios impact the company's asset utilization, profitability, and leverage ratios,in addition, the company's ability to generate operating cash flow from each product launch.

Per the absolute value: What is the incremental difference inoperatingcash flow between the two product launches, which company product could be considered to have the most value for the company, and what would be the key financial risk versus aspects of return when assuming that the Net Profit Margin is 13%, the Asset Utilization is 1X, and the financial leverage is 1.8X?
