That would be true for a company -wide P&L, but not as useful in the single title tool. This kind of management report is designed to help non-accountants sort through the choices available and pick the ones most likely to help the company. Interest costs should be pretty much constant across the company, as will the projected life of an unknown book within a single market segment.

Of course, this is just an opinion.
