Answer:
$20 million
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Book value of assets in 2005 = $1,200 million
Fair value of assets in 2005 = $955 million
Book value of assets in 2006 = $720 million
Fair value of assets in 2006 = $700 million
Now,
Impairment Loss = Fair value - Carrying value of Net assets
or
Impairment Loss
= Fair value of assets in 2006 - book value of assets in 2006
= $700 million - $720 million
= - $20 million [ Here, the negative sign means a loss]
Hence,
Impairment loss of $20 million
It is probably safe to say that most if not all decisions involve trade-offs. For example a person may be offered a job that pays well but requires 7 days per week for a month and while this is good for a younger person with no other commitments it may not work for an older person with his own family commitments and other projects. Another decision could be that for support, a husband decides to not take on major time consuming projects while his wife is doing intensive studying to become certified in a field of her choosing so that he can support her. Another example is that when one cannot drive one's son with a disability to a beach to swim because it is too far and uses too much car gas, the money saved on gas some of it could be spent on his groceries.
Answer:
Please see below.
Explanation:
a.
• Reasonable compensation package. Every stockholders would usually want a good return on their investments. One of the techniques that can be used by them is to offer good and reasonable compensation packages to the company's highly performing executives and managers. The aim is to spur them to act in the best interest of the stockholders and not themselves. This will also translate to better performance of the company.
• Firing of managers who don't perform well. If a company's stock is not performing well(does not appreciate), such would usually be tied to its board and managers. Stockholders are the owners of a company because their funds are being used to trade hence can threaten to replace or actually replace any manager who is not performing well. By so doing, the managers that are retained will be motivated to perform really well in order to retain their jobs hence translate to better company performance.
• Threat of hostile take over. Stockholders could also threaten a company's board of being taken over by a proven and well accomplished company , if their stock price does not improve overtime. When the managers or board realize that their job is being threatened, they will be motivated to act fast by ensuring that the company's stocks yield adequate return in the long run.
b.
What should be paramount to managers is how to ensure that their company's intrinsic stocks value(an estimate of the true value of a stock, that is premised on well calculated risk) are well maximized. The stockholders should also be carried along while this process is on going. By maximizing their stock's intrinsic value, such would bring about high value to the stocks, while as time goes on, the actual stock price will be much closer to the intrinsic value of the stocks.
Customer wait times: A manager may use these analytics to determine points of friction with operations, implement systems to reduce time, develop employee expectations, and ultimately enhance right-on-time service to their customers.
