...Exercise 9.9 The write down of Impaired Assets LO4 LO7 For several years, a number of Food Lion, Inc., grocery stores were unprofitable. The company closed, and continues to close, some of these locations. It is apparent that the company will not be able to recover the cost of the assets associated with the closed stores. Thus, the current value of the impaired assets must be written down (see the Case in Point on page 381). A recent Food Lion income statement reports a $9.5 million charge against income pertaining to the write-down of impaired assets. a. Explain why Food Lion must write down the current carrying value of its unprofitable stores. Food Lion must write down the current carrying value of its unprofitable stores because the stores are an asset that has depreciable value. The Food Lion stores are impaired plant assets in which Food Lion cannot reasonably expect to recover the costs associated with the stores. According to Williams, Haka, and Bettner if the cost of an asset cannot be recovered through future use or sale the asset should be written down to its net realizable value to a loss account. The depreciable assets must be removed from the asset account and the accumulated depreciation is removed from the related contra-asset account, as Food Lion can no longer generate any income from these stores. b. Explain why the recent $9.5 million charge to write down these impaired assets is considered a noncash expense. The $9.5 million charge to write down...

...Memento assignment The structure What we see beneath is how the parts that is coloured in the movie is played. The dots are where the scenes start and stop, and the green numbers above the arrows is scenes. We start at the end of the movie at dot number 2 and then we see scene number 1 which ends at dot number 1. Afterwards we see the first black/white part of the movie. The black/white parts are played in chronological order. After we have seen the first black/white part we jump to dot number three and watch scene number 2 which ends at dot number two. After seeing scene number two we watch the second black/white part. Then we jump to dot number 4 and so on. The real chronological order would be to first see all the black/white scenes in the movie in the order we see in the movie. Afterwards we would see scene 7, then scene 6 and so on until we have seen the last scene, the scene the movie started with. Because of this structure of the movie you need to follow closely or you need to know before you watch the movie how it works or else it can be very confusing. It also demands from the viewer that he/she notices the little things that happens for example when we see Sammy Jenkins at the institution and when someone walks by and suddenly it is Lenny sitting in the chair. As a viewer you also need to know when we deal with flashbacks and when we just jumped one scene back. Through the story we kind of experience how it feels to suffer from short-term memory loss like Lenny...

...Symbols of faith final paper Biblical Numerology Backstage | The world is composed of complicated mathematics. We often speak of its ability to expose and explain a number of beliefs and scientific happenings. Truth is, it has found itself to be both the ‘chicken and the egg’ to most arguments. Numerical significance can be both a proof, demonstration of an idea, or it can be the reason for the thought, concept, or philosophy. By definition, scholars believe that numerology is the placing of meaning on numbers in the Scriptures. Numerology is by no means restricted to Christianity, even though we choose to make it our focus for the purpose of this paper. Numerology attempts to explain the reason why God used numbers as he did, and what he was potentially trying to tell us. Thorough analysis and interpretation efforts have taken place along the years, in other to find meaning behind this scientific, most often philosophical, symbol use. “The Pythagoreans made number games philosophically respectable, and the great authority of Plato raised mathematics into theological realms. But at the lowest level, numbers remained magical.” The fall of the Roman Empire, caused a challenging transition for many, especially in terms of religion. From Paganism to Christianity, many had to look for a meaning, and be convinced, or understand, regardless of doubts that a new religion was to emerge. The early years of Christianity revolved around strong thinkers who were...

Forward Biased LED: A bias voltage that is applied to a pn-junction in the direction that causes a large current flow; used in some semiconductor diode circuits. 2. Incoherent Light: Light in which the electric and magnetic fields of photons are completely random in orientation. Incoherent light is typically emitted from light bulbs and LEDs. 3. Laser: Acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The laser produces a coherent source of light with a narrow beam and a narrow spectral bandwidth (about 2cm). Lasers in fiber optics are usually solid-state semiconductor types. Lasers are used to provide the high-powered, tightly controlled light wave lengths necessary for high-speed, long-distance optical fiber transmissions. 4. Output Pattern: A setting that selects the output pattern for comparison outputs. This enables outputs for changes in levels rather than just upper/lower limit comparisons to set value. It can be set according to the control applications. Note: The settings must be as follows for correct zone outputs. 5. Output Power: The useful signal or power delivered by a circuit or device. 6.

Hello most esteemed US computer guru, Thank you for setting up our branch office in the US. However, our data center has a problem. It seems that everyone there is in love with Office Depot and has a printer on their desk. We employ 150 people. This is too many printers. The ink is so expensive. I hear many people come in of Saturdays and print baseball schedules, shopping list, and photos of their family. What can you suggest to help me? Thank you! From: AA To Rebop Pakulah Hello Rebop; glad to hear your company has increased in employees and volume. Rebop I cannot believe almost every user in cubicle has their own printer. This must stagnate your network, not to mention office expenses for toner and repair calls. Here is what I am suggesting for your 150 employees; you should have 3 multipurpose printers HP4555mfp printers. Then perhaps keep about 10 small HP printers that may belong to your admin staff, such as HR, Recievers, accounts payable team, and those employees that use a printer for 75% percent of their duties. All of these printers would be added to the network server, the subnet, gateway, and IP would be assigned to each printer.

...The first Study Habits Inventory (SHI) was prepared in 1933 by Wrenn, with a view to survey this feature among students. In 1935 research workers interested in the improvement of study habits, they paid attention to the discovery of effective study techniques and tried to improve study skills and habits of work through ‘how to study’ courses and other systematic procedures. Cuff (1937) carefully derived study-habits inventory and found that it aids in finding the pupils in need of special guidance and helps to identify remedial work for the good and bad study habits of individual cases. Brown and Holtzman (1955) constructed a questionnaire to survey students ‘study habits', as well as their attitudes and motivation towards academic work. Items were compiled from group interviews with good and poor students, existing inventories on study habits, studies using observational and interview techniques and reports on related experiments in the field of learning. Scoring keys based on validity studies in ten colleges were developed. Study habits basically consist of effective methods of study (Sorenson, 1954). Study is the total of all the habits, determined purposes and enforced practices that the individual uses in order to learn. Study is hard work, no easy substitute is available (Armstrong, 1956), Brown and Holtzman (1956) and Srivastava (1967) point out that for good academic success, good study habits and attitudes are important. Some reports stress that certain personality characteristics...

...Precious few works in the history of music have enjoyed so esteemed a place in the hearts and affections of so many – far fewer have rivaled the profound scope and monumental artistic achievement of Ludwig van Beethoven’s ninth and final symphony. This work, whose genesis was in many ways influenced by the course of then-recent human history would ultimately help shape and define the history of civilization itself, and in doing so become firmly rooted in the world’s shared cultural patrimony – the single most eloquent representation of the universal brotherhood of Man. Beethoven’s masterwork, while the definitive choral symphony, was not his first attempt at using the human voice on a par with orchestral instruments. 1808’s Choral Fantasy (Op. 80), though on a more modest scale than the Ninth Symphony, was the composer’s first successful introduction of the voice in a large scale orchestral composition. Beethoven’s defiantly inventive departure marked a new and daring chapter in the further development of the symphonic form. And perhaps no other work has had such singular and fruitful influence on successive generations of musicians. Divers composers, impelled by Beethoven’s example, would later craft their own “choral” symphonies: Berlioz, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Mahler, and Shostakovitch, to name a few. Even so, examples such as Gustav Mahler’s massive “Symphony of a Thousand” arguably fail to rival the emotional resonance and transformative power of Beethoven’s Ninth which so...

...In the movie District 9 (Blomkamp, 2009) there was several ethical issues of significance for trans humanism. The issues that was created in the movie was if it was permissible to give a normal human being superhuman powers even when they are forced against their will, under what circumstances humans will be accepting of trans humans or post humans, and what roles space colonization and extraterrestrial encounter may play in the future of humanity. The movie shows an encounter between both humanity and extraterrestrials. The two civilization forms a standard issue war between two different worlds. Whenever violence breaks out, it is limited to localized police operations, insurgencies, and crimes, not focused efforts at extermination. (Baum, 2009) The movie gives you a good guess about which civilization you should be going for and it also tells you about where they began and when one ends. District 9 is about a man named Wiku van de Merwe, who is a young white African corporate bureaucrat that is in charge of the “Multination United” and the “Department of Alien Affairs”. His job was to evict a large ship full of non-humans also known as the aliens that was found malnourished and weary from travel away from their home to District 9 to an alien relocation camp which was located 200 kilometers from Johannesburg. After three months since the non-humans been on earth 1 million of the non-humans were ferried by city officials from their mother ship to a temporary camp that was...

...Elysium is a sci-fi film directed by Neill Blomkamp, best known for his academy award nominated film “District 9”. Set in a remote future of year 2154, a luxurious space station is built for the very wealthy and powerful people, while the devastated earth has become a home for the rest of the poor. Equipped with advanced healthcare system that can cure almost everything, “Elysium” is the place the earth citizens have always been longed for. Max, played by Matt Damon, after exposed to the deadly radiation by accident, decides to take on a journey to the Elysium and makes the system legal for all earth citizens to use, which can save not only his life, but millions of others. The film starts with a series of flashback about Max’s childhood, revealing Max’s early dream of going to Elysium, which leads to his courageous decision of taking the mission to the Elysium. Metaphor and sarcasm, once elaborately used in the director’s “District 9”, show up again in his latest “Elysium”. The theme embedded within the movie reflects a long existing debate about American’s healthcare system and the immigrants issue. While the visual effect and the idea of the future world are creative and impressive, one weakness I found in this film is that the shot of fight scenes seems to sway too much, which makes the audience dizzy and therefore, simply fails to capture their attentions. I particularly enjoy watching movies with a mixture of action, science fiction and suspense, such as Inception...
