Do some research on mergers and acquisitions. What were the five largest mergers– acquisitions last year? Make a list of the par
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Mergers and Acquisitions in 2019:

1. The five largest mergers-acquisitions in 2019:

   Acquirer   and  Partner

a. BB&T and SunTrust

b. Schwab and TD Ameritrade

c. Raythem and UTC

d. Newmont and Goldcorp

e. Salesforce and Tableau Software

2. Reasons for the M&A:

a. BB&T and SunTrust                        - to cut cost

b. Schwab and TD Ameritrade          - to save money

c. Raythem and UTC                        - to become largest defence company

d. Newmont and Goldcorp               - to acquire competitive advantage

e. Salesforce and Tableau Software - to boost revenue

3. Some of the M&A transactions do not make any strategic sense.  For example, now that Raythem and UTC combined want to form the largest defense company, do they add much to their stockholders returns?  Some others acquired to cut cost will experience the huge costs of acquisition, which are, most times, too large to be written off in a single year.

Explanation:

Major financial transactions done at the corporate level for the purpose of consolidating the assets of two or more companies, growing market share, and eliminating competition are called Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A).  Consolidation of companies may be achieved through mergers, acquisitions, assets purchase, management acquisitions, etc.

The demand for one of X Company’s products has declined in recent years. The product is manufactured using designated equipment
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$230,000

Revised Question:

The demand for one of X Company's products has declined in recent years. The product is manufactured using designated equipment that originally cost $1,300,000 and has a carrying value of $720,000. As of the current date, December 31, 2012, it is expected that only an additional 400,000 units are likely to be sold over the remaining life of the equipment. Each unit sells for $3 and has a manufacturing cost of $1.50. Relevant information as of December 31, 2018:

The undiscounted future cash inflows from the sale of products over the life of the equipment is expected to be $600,000.

The present value of the future cash inflows from the sale of products over the life of the equipment, calculated at the company's cost of capital, is $475,000.

The equipment has a fair value of $490,000 on the date of evaluation.

How much of an impairment loss will X Company recognize in 2018?

Explanation:

IAS 36 Impairment of Assets states that company's or entity's assets can not be carried at more than their Recoverable Amount

<em>Recoverable Amount</em> equals to higher of Fair Value less cost of disposal and Value in Use

<em>Value in Use</em> is net present value (NPV) of future cashflows generated by an asset.

Lets calculate the Recoverable amount of the equipment of Company X:

Fair Value less Cost of disposal = $490,000 - 0 = $490,000

Value in Use = discounted future cashflows from equipment =  $475,000

<em>So Recoverable Amount is higher of Fair Value less cost of disposal and Value in Use i.e $490,000</em>

<h3>Impairment Loss = Carrying Value - Recoverable Amount </h3><h3>                              = $720,000 - $490,000</h3><h3>                              = $230,000</h3>

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The items that describes what happens at the equilibrium price are:


Producers supply the exact goods that consumers buy.

Consumers have enough goods, at the given price.

Producers used their resources efficiently.

Equilibrium pricing is when the items demanded match the items supplied. When this happens, the demand and good available equal each other, hence, equilibrium. The pricing is exactly where it should be for consumers to want and purchase the good or service.
