Sentence structure
Some experts consider it as a hasty decision (A) affecting the company's forth quarter revenue / (B) to affect the company's forth quarter revenue.
1. Could you check whether both of (A) and (B) in the above sentence are available?
2. Although both of (A) and (B) are acceptable, I think there is the difference between them. Here, what (A) means is that the hasty decision is affecting the company's revenue now. That is, you are in the forth quarter now. On the contrary, (B) conveys the idea that the hasty decision will affect the forth-coming quarter. So, the decision doesn't affect the company's revenue yet. Could you tell me whether I understand the difference between them correctly?
