2. Property and equipment: Property and equipment consisted of the following (in thousands): Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment and finance leases was $80.2 million, $81.2 million and $75.9 million, for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company capitalizes the compensation cost of employees directly involved with its construction activities. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company capitalized compensation costs of $10.7 million, $10.5 million and $9.7 million respectively. These amounts are included in system infrastructure costs. Exchange agreement In 2019, 2018 and 2017 the Company exchanged certain used network equipment and cash consideration for new network equipment. The fair value of the new network equipment received was estimated to be $3.3 million, $3.2 million and $9.1 million resulting in gains of $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $3.9 million respectively. The estimated fair value of the equipment received was based upon the cash consideration price the Company pays for the new network equipment on a standalone basis (Level 3). Installment payment agreement The Company has entered into an installment payment agreement (“IPA”) with a vendor. Under the IPA the Company may purchase network equipment in exchange for interest free note obligations each with a twenty-four month term. There are no payments under each note obligation for the first six months followed by eighteen equal installment payments for the remaining eighteen month term. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was $12.5 million and $11.2 million, respectively, of note obligations outstanding under the IPA, secured by the related equipment. The Company recorded the assets purchased and the present value of the note obligation utilizing an imputed interest rate. The resulting discounts totaling $0.4 million and $0.4 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, under the note obligations are being amortized over the note term using the effective interest rate method.

See , Drake and I had a bet going about who could hold out from peeing the longest and I was determined to win . Of course , I had to go so bad , I could barely move , and Drake was n't helping by constantly shaking what soda was left in his bottle . At any rate , I had the remote control ( mostly because I think Drake was afraid that if he lunged for it , he 'd wet himself ) and was flipping through the channels . There was a show about salmon on the nature channel , but the tiny whimper that Drake emitted at the sound of all that flowing water matched the one that I swallowed down and I decided to take pity on both of us and change it to something else .

Buying a toaster requires an insurance plan that is 20% of the MSRP, plus a mandatory state tax rate of 50% after the insurance plan calculation. Jon chooses to buy a toaster that costs $30 at MSRP. What is the total he must pay?
|
The insurance plan costs $30*0.2=$<<30*0.2=6>>6.
The pre-state tax total is $30+$6=$<<30+6=36>>36.
State tax will be $36*0.5=$<<36*0.5=18>>18.
Jon needs to pay $18+$36=$<<18+36=54>>54 for his new toaster.

Before James starts the strength phase training of his cycle he has a powerlifting total of 2200 pounds at a bodyweight of 245 pounds. He manages to gain 15% on his total and 8 pounds of body weight. What is the ratio of his lifting total to bodyweight?
|
He added 2200*.15=<<2200*.15=330>>330 pounds to his total
That means his new title is 2200+330=<<2200+330=2530>>2530 pound total
His new body weight is 245+8=<<245+8=253>>253 pounds
So he has 2530/253=<<2530/253=10>>10 for his ratio

3.6 PROFIT FOR THE YEAR (1) Fiscal 2018 was restated to comply with IFRS 15 and to reflect a change in accounting policy as well as to reclassify results from Cogeco Peer 1 as discontinued operations. For further details, please consult the "Accounting policies" and "Discontinued operations" sections. (2) The non-controlling interest represents a participation of 21% in Atlantic Broadband's results by Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec ("CDPQ"), effective since the MetroCast acquisition on January 4, 2018. Fiscal 2019 profit for the year from continuing operations and profit for the year from continuing operations attributable to owners of the Corporation decreased by 7.2% and 9.4%, respectively, as a result of: • last year's $94 million income tax reduction following the United States tax reform; and • the increase in depreciation and amortization mostly related to the impact of the MetroCast acquisition; partly offset by • higher adjusted EBITDA mainly as a result of the impact of the MetroCast acquisition; • the decrease in financial expense; and • the decrease in integration, restructuring and acquisition costs. Fiscal 2019 profit for the year and profit for the year attributable to owners of the Corporation increased by 20.0% and 18.4%, respectively, mainly due to a profit for the year from discontinued operations of $75.4 million resulting from the sale of Cogeco Peer 1 in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to a loss for the year from discontinued operations of $24.4 million for the prior year in addition to the elements mentioned above.

DEBT DERIVATIVES We use cross-currency interest rate agreements (debt derivatives) to manage risks from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates associated with our US dollar-denominated senior notes and debentures, lease liabilities, credit facility borrowings, and US CP borrowings. We designate the debt derivatives related to our senior notes and debentures and lease liabilities as hedges for accounting purposes against the foreign exchange risk associated with specific debt instruments. Debt derivatives related to our credit facility and US CP borrowings have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. 1 Converting from a fixed US$ coupon rate to a weighted average Cdn$ fixed rate. Settlement of debt derivatives related to senior notes We did not settle any debt derivatives related to senior notes during 2019. In April 2018, we settled the debt derivatives related to the repayment of the entire outstanding principal amount of our US$1.4 billion ($1.8 billion) 6.8% senior notes otherwise due in August 2018.

Central Overheads declined by $76 million in F19 to $60 million due to a one‐off payment from Caltex of $50 million and a reversal of impairment on a property subsequently classified as held for sale of $37 million. Central Overheads are still expected to be approximately $150 million on an annual basis before taking into account any impact from the Endeavour Group transaction. A small increase in inventory to $4,280 million was primarily due to higher closing inventory in New Zealand and BIG W to improve availability. Closing inventory days declined 0.9 days to 37.2 days and average inventory days from continuing operations declined by 0.2 days to 38.8 days. Net investment in inventory of $939 million remained broadly consistent with prior year. Adjusting for the impact of an extra New Zealand Food payment run in the 53rd week of $153 million, net investment in inventory declined by 19%. Other creditors and provisions of $4,308 million decreased $40 million compared to the prior year. Excluding significant items relating to the BIG W network review and cash utilisation of F16 significant items provisions, the decrease in other creditors and provisions was primarily driven by a reduction in accruals associated with store team costs. Fixed assets, investments and loans to related parties of $9,710 million increased by $528 million. Additions of fixed assets of $2,040 million during the year mainly related to store refurbishments, supply chain and IT infrastructure and included $203 million related to property development activity. This was partially offset by depreciation and amortisation, disposals and an impairment of $166 million associated with the BIG W network review. Net assets held for sale of $225 million decreased by $575 million mainly as a result of the sale of the Petrol business to EG Group on 1 April 2019. Intangible assets of $6,526 million increased by $61 million driven by an increase in goodwill and brand names in New Zealand due to the strengthening of the New Zealand dollar, a minor increase in goodwill associated with the acquisition of businesses partially offset by an impairment to the carrying value of Summergate of $21 million. Net tax balances of $227 million increased $66 million due to an increase in deferred tax assets associated with the provisions raised as a result of the BIG W network review. Net debt of $1,599 million increased by $377 million largely due to the timing of New Zealand creditor payments, higher net capital expenditure (excluding the proceeds from the sale of the Petrol business) and an increase in dividends paid during the year. Normalised Return on Funds Employed (ROFE) from continuing operations was 24.2%, 11 bps up on the prior year. Normalised AASB 16 estimated ROFE was 14.1%. Cash flow from operating activities before interest and tax was $3,858 million, an increase of 0.5% on the prior year. Excluding the impact of significant items, higher EBITDA was offset by the impact of the New Zealand payment run in week 53 and a movement in provisions and accruals. The cash flow benefit from an extra week of trading is offset by nine months of EBITDA from the Petrol business compared to a full year in F18. The cash realisation ratio was 74.1%. Excluding the timing of the New Zealand payment run, and charges associated with the BIG W network review and gain on sale of the Petrol business, the cash realisation ratio was 98.4%, impacted by the cash utilisation of provisions and accruals offset by trade working capital improvements. Net interest paid of $166 million declined by 9.8% compared to the prior year due to the early repayment of US Private Placement Notes in the prior year reducing average borrowing costs.

Share-based Compensation Expense We have several share-based compensation plans covering stock options and RSUs for our employees and directors, which are described more fully in Note 11. We measure our compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions based on fair value of the equity or liability classified instrument. For purposes of estimating the fair value of each stock option unit on the date of grant, we utilize the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected volatility factor of the market price of our common stock (as determined by reviewing our historical public market closing prices). Our accounting for share-based compensation for RSUs is based on the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Our total share-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s results of operations from non-cash and cash-portioned instruments issued to our employees and directors comprised the following (in thousands):
| | | Year Ended December 31, |

Foreign Currency Risk The Group is exposed to translation and transaction foreign exchange risk. Several other currencies in addition to the reporting currency of US dollar are used, including sterling and the euro. The Group experiences currency exchange differences arising upon retranslation of monetary items (primarily short-term inter-Company balances and long-term borrowings), which are recognised as an expense in the period the difference occurs. The Group endeavours to match cash inflows and outflows in the various currencies; the Group typically invoices its customers in their local currency and pays its local expenses in local currency, as a means to mitigate this risk. The Group is also exposed to exchange differences arising from the translation of its subsidiaries’ Financial Statements into the Group’s reporting currency of US dollar, with the corresponding exchange differences taken directly to equity. The following table illustrates the movement that ten per cent in the value of sterling or the euro against the US dollar would have had on the Group’s profit or loss for the period and on the Group’s equity as at the end of the period. Any foreign exchange variance would be recognised as unrealised foreign exchange in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and have no impact on cash flows.

The long-term portion of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $622,000 and $619,000, respectively, of which the timing of the resolution is uncertain. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits had been recorded as a reduction to net deferred tax assets. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s net deferred tax assets of $6.7 million are subject to a valuation allowance of $6.7 million. It is possible, however, that some months or years may elapse before an uncertain position for which the Company has established a reserve is resolved. A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: The unrecognized tax benefit balance as of March 31, 2019 of $599,000 would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

These increases were partially offset by a product revenue decline in the service provider market. From a country perspective, product revenue increased by 9% in the United States, 26% in Mexico and 6% in Canada, partially offset by a product revenue decrease of 1% in Brazil. EMEA The increase in product revenue in the EMEA segment of 6% was driven by growth in the public sector and enterprise markets, partially offset by a decline in the service provider market. Product revenue in the commercial market was flat. Product revenue from emerging countries within EMEA increased by 9%, and product revenue for the remainder of the EMEA segment increased by 5%.

What is the solution to this math problem?
Bobby can deadlift 300 pounds at 13. When he is 18 he can deadlift 100 pounds more than 250% of his previous deadlift. How many pounds did he add per year?
|
His new deadlift is 300*2.5+100=<<300*2.5+100=850>>850 pounds
So he added 850-300=<<850-300=550>>550 pounds to his deadlift
This took 18-13=<<18-13=5>>5 years
So he added 550/5=<<550/5=110>>110 pounds per year
#### 110

(1) For the three-month period ended August 31, 2019, the average foreign exchange rate used for translation was 1.3222 USD/CDN. (2) Fiscal 2018 was restated to comply with IFRS 15 and to reflect a change in accounting policy. For further details, please consult the "Accounting policies" section. (3) Fiscal 2019 actuals are translated at the average foreign exchange rate of the comparable period of fiscal 2018 which was 1.3100 USD/CDN. REVENUE Fiscal 2019 fourth-quarter revenue increased by 7.0% (6.0% in constant currency). In local currency, revenue amounted to US$199.5 million compared to US$188.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2018. The increase resulted mainly from: • rate increases; • activation of bulk properties in Florida during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019; • continued growth in Internet service customers; and • the FiberLight acquisition completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2019; partly offset by • a decrease in video service customers. OPERATING EXPENSES Fiscal 2019 fourth-quarter operating expenses increased by 8.6% (7.6% in constant currency) mainly as a result of: • programming rate increases; • the FiberLight acquisition completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2019; • higher compensation expenses due to higher headcount to support growth; and • higher marketing initiatives to drive primary service units growth. ADJUSTED EBITDA Fiscal 2019 fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA increased by 5.1% (4.1% in constant currency). In local currency, adjusted EBITDA amounted to US$87.4 million compared to US$83.9 million for the same period of fiscal 2018. The increase was mainly due to organic growth combined with the impact of the FiberLight acquisition. ACQUISITIONS OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Fiscal 2019 fourth-quarter acquisitions of property, plant and equipment decreased by 9.5% (10.5% in constant currency) mainly due to: • lower purchases of customer premise equipment due to the timing of certain initiatives; and • lower capital expenditures due to the timing of certain initiatives; partly offset by • additional capital expenditures related to the expansion in Florida.

Dividends The following table shows our total cash dividends paid in the years ended December 31: On February 13, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per common share payable on March 20, 2020 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 6, 2020. The estimated amount of this dividend payment is $24.8 million based on 154.7 million shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of February 21, 2020. The dividend payments discussed above are recorded as reductions to cash and cash equivalents and retained earnings on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our credit facility and our senior notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends and repurchase stock. However, we do not believe these covenants are likely to materially limit the future payment of quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. From time to time, we may consider other means of returning value to our stockholders based on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. There is no guarantee that our Board of Directors will declare any further dividends.

Deferred taxes are recorded for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities that are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets are summarized in the table below. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $337.6 million expiring between 2020 and 2039. A significant portion of the state net operating loss carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation that, under current law, is likely to limit future tax benefits to approximately $3.3 million. Valuation allowances increased by $0.7 million during fiscal year 2019 primarily due to increases in net operating losses incurred in certain tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized. The Company does not have unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The Company
recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. All years prior to fiscal year 2013 have been settled with the Internal Revenue Service and with most significant state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions. In December 2017, an Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act included provisions that reduced the federal statutory income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, created a territorial tax system with a one-time mandatory tax on previously deferred foreign earnings (i.e. transition tax), and changed certain business deductions including allowing for immediate expensing of certain qualified capital expenditures and limitations on deductions of interest expense. The SEC staff issued guidance on income tax accounting for the Act which allowed companies to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. In accordance with this guidance, during fiscal year 2018, we recorded a provisional tax charge of $5.0 million for the transition tax and a provisional tax benefit of $74.6 million for the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. During fiscal year 2019, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $0.2 million in measurement period adjustments for the transition tax offset by a discrete tax charge of $0.2 million for the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Our accounting for the impact of the Act was completed as of the period ending December 31, 2018. Under the Act, the transition tax is being paid over an eight year period beginning in fiscal year 2019. The Act also established new tax provisions that became effective in fiscal year 2019, including but not limited to eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax, creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”), establishing new limitations on deductible interest expense and certain executive compensation, creating a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) and generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries. The Company has made an accounting policy election to treat the tax effect of GILTI as a current period expense when incurred. Undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, totaling $77.8 million were considered permanently reinvested. Following enactment of the Act, the repatriation of cash to the U.S. is generally no longer taxable for federal income tax purposes. If these earnings were to be repatriated, approximately $0.3 million of tax expense would be incurred.

I wonder if , when I have kids , I will make things look as effortless as my parents did . Both of my parents worked and , while we were n't exactly rich , we certainly were n't poor , either . We got to eat out once a week or so . Sometimes at a sit - down restaurant , sometimes just fast food .
Why is the speaker unsure of their ability to create a childhood for their kids similar to the one they had ?
|
They have no reason to think they will fail , but some degree of unsurety is fairly typical in these cases

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at each fiscal year-end are presented below (in thousands): The Tax Act was enacted into law on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act included a reduction in the U.S. federal statutory corporate income tax rate (the “Tax Rate”) from 35% to 21% and introduced new limitations on certain business deductions. As a result, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, we recognized a year-to-date, non-cash $32.5 million tax provision expense impact primarily related to the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the reduced Tax Rate. Deferred tax assets as of September 29, 2019 include state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately$27.4 million expiring at various times between 2020 and 2038. At September 29, 2019, we recorded a valuation allowance of$2.5 million related to losses and state tax credits, which decreased from the$3.6 million at September 30, 2018 primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance on prior year net operating losses. We believe that it is more likely than not that these net operating loss and credit carry-forwards will not be realized and that all other deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income or alternative tax strategies. The major jurisdictions in which the Company files income tax returns include the United States and states in which we operate that impose an income tax. The federal statutes of limitations have not expired for fiscal years 2016 and forward. The statutes of limitations for California and Texas, which constitute the Company’s major state tax jurisdictions, have not expired for fiscal years 2015 and forward.

What is the solution to this math problem?
Avery opens a flower shop. She ties 8 bunches of flowers with 9 flowers in each bunch. How many bunches would she have if she put 12 flowers in each bunch instead?
|
She has a total of 8 * 9 = <<8*9=72>>72 flowers.
Dividing them in bunches of 12 will give her 72 / 12 = <<72/12=6>>6 bunches of flowers.
#### 6

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations: The Company periodically grants stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for a fixed number of shares upon vesting to employees and non-employee Directors. Beginning in 2019, the Company granted Directors awards in the form of common stock and stock options Most of the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements vest over five years with 20% vesting after one year and the remaining 80% vesting in equal quarterly installments over the remaining four years. The Company’s stock options have a term of ten years. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the accelerated attribution method, treating each vesting tranche as if it were an individual grant. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Ultimately, the Company recognizes the actual expense over the vesting period only for the shares that vest Employees may elect to receive 50% of their target incentive compensation under the Company’s Corporate Incentive Compensation Plan (the “CICP”) in the form of RSUs instead of cash. If elected by an employee, the equity amount is equal in value on the date of grant to 50% of his or her target incentive opportunity, based on the employee’s base salary. The number of RSUs granted is determined by dividing 50% of the employee’s target incentive opportunity by 85% of the closing price of its common stock on the grant date, less the present value of expected dividends during the vesting period. If elected, the award vests 100% on the CICP payout date of the following year for all participants. Vesting is conditioned upon the performance conditions of the CICP and on continued employment; if threshold funding does not occur, the RSUs will not vest. The Company considers vesting to be probable on the grant date and recognizes the associated stockbased compensation expense over the requisite service period beginning on the grant date and ending on the vesting date. The Company grants awards that allow for the settlement of vested stock options and RSUs on a net share basis (“net settled awards”). With net settled awards, the employee does not surrender any cash or shares upon exercise. Rather, the Company withholds the number of shares to cover the exercise price (in the case of stock options) and the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations (in the case of stock options and RSUs) from the shares that would otherwise be issued upon exercise or settlement. The exercise of stock options and settlement of RSUs on a net share basis results in fewer shares issued by the Company.
