Mia, do you have a second to help me with my reading of Atherton’s annual report? I’ve come across several unfamiliar terms, and I want to make sure that I’m interpreting the data and management’s comments correctly. For example, one of the footnotes to the financial statements uses "the book value of Atherton’s shares," and then in another place, it uses "Economic Value Added." I’ve never encountered those terms before. Do you know what they’re talking about?

Explanation:

THE  BOOK VALUE  of assets and shares are the value of these items in a company's financial records. The book value per share is a market value ratio that weighs stockholders' equity against sharesoutstanding. In other words, the value of all sharesdivided by the number of shares issued.

Book value of an asset refers to thevalue of an asset when depreciation is accounted for.

ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED  (EVA) is an estimate of a firm'seconomic profit, or the value created in excess of the required return of the company's shareholders.

Economic Value Added (EVA) is important because it is used as an indicator of how profitable company projects are and it therefore serves as a reflection of management performance. It includes the balance sheet in the calculation and encourages managers to think about assets as well as expenses in their decisions.

    racial conflict and discrimination has existed ever since man learned to kill with rocks and bones. these conflicts arose from disputes between territory, power, wealth, religion, or simple difference. some of the most infamous racial disputes include slavery, the holocaust, and the civil rights movement.

    these listed disputes often resulted in casualties from all sides. riots, wars, imprisonment, and lynching are all commonly associated with racial conflict on severe levels.

      however, racism is an improving issue in recent decades. people are being more accepting and welcoming of diverse populations. though, the world isn't perfect and it will take much more time, if ever, until the world is rid of racism.
