management 2019s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations indemnification provisions: in addition, the company may provide indemnifications for losses that result from the breach of general warranties contained in certain commercial, intellectual property and divestiture agreements. historically, the company has not made significant payments under these agreements, nor have there been significant claims asserted against the company. however, there is an increasing risk in relation to intellectual property indemnities given the current legal climate. in indemnification cases, payment by the company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the company to challenge the other party 2019s claims. further, the company 2019s obligations under these agreements for indemnification based on breach of representations and warranties are generally limited in terms of duration, typically not more than 24 months, and for amounts not in excess of the contract value, and in some instances the company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the company. legal matters: the company is a defendant in various lawsuits, claims and actions, which arise in the normal course of business. in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the company 2019s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. segment information the following commentary should be read in conjunction with the financial results of each operating business segment as detailed in note 12, 2018 2018information by segment and geographic region, 2019 2019 to the company 2019s consolidated financial statements. net sales and operating results for the company 2019s three operating business segments for 2009, 2008 and 2007 are presented below. mobile devices segment the mobile devices segment designs, manufactures, sells and services wireless handsets, including smartphones, with integrated software and accessory products, and licenses intellectual property. in 2009, the segment 2019s net sales represented 32% (32%) of the company 2019s consolidated net sales, compared to 40% (40%) in 2008 and 52% (52%) in 2007.. (dollars in millions) | years ended december 31 2009 | years ended december 31 2008 | years ended december 31 2007 | years ended december 31 2009 20142008 | 2008 20142007 segment net sales | $7146 | $12099 | $18988 | (41)% (%) | (36)% (%) operating earnings (loss) | -1077 (1077) | -2199 (2199) | -1201 (1201) | (51)% (%) | 83% (83%) segment results 20142009 compared to 2008 in 2009, the segment 2019s net sales were $7.1 billion, a decrease of 41% (41%) compared to net sales of $12.1 billion in 2008. the 41% (41%) decrease in net sales was primarily driven by a 45% (45%) decrease in unit shipments, partially offset by an 8% (8%) increase in average selling price (2018 2018asp 2019 2019). the segment 2019s net sales were negatively impacted by reduced product offerings in large market segments, particularly 3g products, including smartphones, and the segment 2019s limited product offerings in very low-tier products. on a product technology basis, net sales decreased substantially for gsm, cdma and 3g technologies, partially offset by an increase in net sales for iden technology. on a geographic basis, net sales decreased substantially in latin america, the europe, middle east and african region (2018 2018emea 2019 2019) and asia and, to a lesser extent, decreased in north america. the segment incurred an operating loss of $1.1 billion in 2009, an improvement of 51% (51%) compared to an operating loss of $2.2 billion in 2008. the decrease in the operating loss was primarily due to decreases in: (i) selling, general and administrative (2018 2018sg&a 2019 2019) expenses, primarily due to lower marketing expenses and savings from cost-reduction initiatives, (ii) research and development (2018 2018r&d 2019 2019) expenditures, reflecting savings from cost-reduction initiatives, (iii) lower excess inventory and other related charges in 2009 than in 2008, when the charges included a $370 million charge due to a decision to consolidate software and silicon platforms, and (iv) the absence in 2009 of a comparable $150 million charge in 2008 related to settlement of a purchase commitment, partially offset by a decrease in gross margin, driven by the 41% (41%) decrease in net sales. as a percentage of net sales in 2009 as compared to 2008, gross margin and r&d expenditures increased and sg&a expenses decreased. the segment 2019s industry typically experiences short life cycles for new products. therefore, it is vital to the segment 2019s success that new, compelling products are continually introduced. accordingly, a strong commitment to. in the year of 2009, considering the segment 2019s net sales and the percent they represented in relation to the 2019s consolidated net sales, what can be concluded to have been these consolidates sales, in billions? 22.1875 and in this same year, what was the total of the segment net sales?

entergy louisiana, inc. management's financial discussion and analysis gross operating revenues, fuel and purchased power expenses, and other regulatory credits gross operating revenues increased primarily due to: 2022 an increase of $98.0 million in fuel cost recovery revenues due to higher fuel rates; and 2022 an increase due to volume/weather, as discussed above. the increase was partially offset by the following: 2022 a decrease of $31.9 million in the price applied to unbilled sales, as discussed above; 2022 a decrease of $12.2 million in rate refund provisions, as discussed above; and 2022 a decrease of $5.2 million in gross wholesale revenue due to decreased sales to affiliated systems. fuel and purchased power expenses increased primarily due to: 2022 an increase in the recovery from customers of deferred fuel costs; and 2022 an increase in the market price of natural gas. other regulatory credits increased primarily due to: 2022 the deferral in 2004 of $14.3 million of capacity charges related to generation resource planning as allowed by the lpsc; 2022 the amortization in 2003 of $11.8 million of deferred capacity charges, as discussed above; and 2022 the deferral in 2004 of $11.4 million related to entergy's voluntary severance program, in accordance with a proposed stipulation with the lpsc staff. 2003 compared to 2002 net revenue, which is entergy louisiana's measure of gross margin, consists of operating revenues net of: 1) fuel, fuel-related, and purchased power expenses and 2) other regulatory charges (credits). following is an analysis of the change in net revenue comparing 2003 to 2002.. - | (in millions) 2002 net revenue | $922.9 deferred fuel cost revisions | 59.1 asset retirement obligation | 8.2 volume | -16.2 (16.2) vidalia settlement | -9.2 (9.2) other | 8.9 2003 net revenue | $973.7 the deferred fuel cost revisions variance resulted from a revised unbilled sales pricing estimate made in december 2002 and a further revision made in the first quarter of 2003 to more closely align the fuel component of that pricing with expected recoverable fuel costs. the asset retirement obligation variance was due to the implementation of sfas 143, "accounting for asset retirement obligations" adopted in january 2003. see "critical accounting estimates" for more details on sfas 143. the increase was offset by decommissioning expense and had no effect on net income. the volume variance was due to a decrease in electricity usage in the service territory. billed usage decreased 1868 gwh in the industrial sector including the loss of a large industrial customer to cogeneration.. what was the total increase in the other regulatory credits in 2003? 37.5 and what percentage did this increase represent in relation to the net revenue in that year? 0.03851 and concerning the increase in fuel cost recovery revenues in that same period, what percent of it was due to deferred fuel cost revisions?

item 7. management 2019s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations we are a global integrated energy company with significant operations in the north america, africa and europe. our operations are organized into four reportable segments: 2022 exploration and production (201ce&p 201d) which explores for, produces and markets liquid hydrocarbons and natural gas on a worldwide basis. 2022 oil sands mining (201cosm 201d) which mines, extracts and transports bitumen from oil sands deposits in alberta, canada, and upgrades the bitumen to produce and market synthetic crude oil and vacuum gas 2022 integrated gas (201cig 201d) which markets and transports products manufactured from natural gas, such as liquefied natural gas (201clng 201d) and methanol, on a worldwide basis. 2022 refining, marketing & transportation (201crm&t 201d) which refines, markets and transports crude oil and petroleum products, primarily in the midwest, upper great plains, gulf coast and southeastern regions of the united states. certain sections of management 2019s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations include forward-looking statements concerning trends or events potentially affecting our business. these statements typically contain words such as 201canticipates, 201d 201cbelieves, 201d 201cestimates, 201d 201cexpects, 201d 201ctargets, 201d 201cplans, 201d 201cprojects, 201d 201ccould, 201d 201cmay, 201d 201cshould, 201d 201cwould 201d or similar words indicating that future outcomes are uncertain. in accordance with 201csafe harbor 201d provisions of the private securities litigation reform act of 1995, these statements are accompanied by cautionary language identifying important factors, though not necessarily all such factors, which could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. we hold a 60 percent interest in equatorial guinea lng holdings limited (201cegholdings 201d). as discussed in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, effective may 1, 2007, we ceased consolidating egholdings. our investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. unless specifically noted, amounts presented for the integrated gas segment for periods prior to may 1, 2007, include amounts related to the minority interests. management 2019s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the information under item 1. business, item 1a. risk factors, item 6. selected financial data and item 8. financial statements and supplementary data. overview exploration and production prevailing prices for the various grades of crude oil and natural gas that we produce significantly impact our revenues and cash flows. prices were volatile in 2009, but not as much as in the previous year. prices in 2009 were also lower than in recent years as illustrated by the annual averages for key benchmark prices below.. benchmark | 2009 | 2008 | 2007 wti crude oil (dollars per barrel) | $62.09 | $99.75 | $72.41 dated brent crude oil (dollars per barrel) | $61.67 | $97.26 | $72.39 henry hub natural gas (dollars per mcf) (a) | $3.99 | $9.04 | $6.86 henry hub natural gas (dollars per mcf) (a) $3.99 $9.04 $6.86 (a) first-of-month price index. crude oil prices rose sharply through the first half of 2008 as a result of strong global demand, a declining dollar, ongoing concerns about supplies of crude oil, and geopolitical risk. later in 2008, crude oil prices sharply declined as the u.s. dollar rebounded and global demand decreased as a result of economic recession. the price decrease continued into 2009, but reversed after dropping below $33.98 in february, ending the year at $79.36. our domestic crude oil production is about 62 percent sour, which means that it contains more sulfur than light sweet wti does. sour crude oil also tends to be heavier than light sweet crude oil and sells at a discount to light sweet crude oil because of higher refining costs and lower refined product values. our international crude oil production is relatively sweet and is generally sold in relation to the dated brent crude benchmark. the differential between wti and dated brent average prices narrowed to $0.42 in 2009 compared to $2.49 in 2008 and $0.02 in 2007.. what is the net change in the price of henry hub natural gas from 2007 to 2009?

impairment the following table presents net unrealized losses on securities available for sale as of december 31:. (in millions) | 2011 | 2010 fair value | $99832 | $81881 amortized cost | 100013 | 82329 net unrealized loss pre-tax | $-181 (181) | $-448 (448) net unrealized loss after-tax | $-113 (113) | $-270 (270) the net unrealized amounts presented above excluded the remaining net unrealized losses related to reclassifications of securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. these unrealized losses related to reclassifications totaled $303 million, or $189 million after-tax, and $523 million, or $317 million after-tax, as of december 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, or oci. refer to note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included under item 8. the decline in these remaining after-tax unrealized losses related to reclassifications from december 31, 2010 to december 31, 2011 resulted primarily from amortization. we conduct periodic reviews of individual securities to assess whether other-than-temporary impairment exists. to the extent that other-than-temporary impairment is identified, the impairment is broken into a credit component and a non-credit component. the credit component is recorded in our consolidated statement of income, and the non-credit component is recorded in oci to the extent that we do not intend to sell the security. our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment involves an evaluation, more fully described in note 3, of economic and security-specific factors. such factors are based on estimates, derived by management, which contemplate current market conditions and security-specific performance. to the extent that market conditions are worse than management 2019s expectations, other-than-temporary impairment could increase, in particular, the credit component that would be recorded in our consolidated statement of income. given the exposure of our investment securities portfolio, particularly mortgage- and asset-backed securities, to residential mortgage and other consumer credit risks, the performance of the u.s. housing market is a significant driver of the portfolio 2019s credit performance. as such, our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment relies to a significant extent on our estimates of trends in national housing prices. generally, indices that measure trends in national housing prices are published in arrears. as of september 30, 2011, national housing prices, according to the case-shiller national home price index, had declined by approximately 31.3% (31.3%) peak-to-current. overall, management 2019s expectation, for purposes of its evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment as of december 31, 2011, was that housing prices would decline by approximately 35% (35%) peak-to-trough. the performance of certain mortgage products and vintages of securities continues to deteriorate. in addition, management continues to believe that housing prices will decline further as indicated above. the combination of these factors has led to an increase in management 2019s overall loss expectations. our investment portfolio continues to be sensitive to management 2019s estimates of future cumulative losses. ultimately, other-than- temporary impairment is based on specific cusip-level detailed analysis of the unique characteristics of each security. in addition, we perform sensitivity analysis across each significant product type within the non-agency u.s. residential mortgage-backed portfolio. we estimate, for example, that other-than-temporary impairment of the investment portfolio could increase by approximately $10 million to $50 million, if national housing prices were to decline by 37% (37%) to 39% (39%) peak-to-trough, compared to management 2019s expectation of 35% (35%) described above. this sensitivity estimate is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of housing prices and the timing of defaults. to the extent that such factors differ substantially from management 2019s current expectations, resulting loss estimates may differ materially from those stated. excluding the securities for which other-than-temporary impairment was recorded in 2011, management considers the aggregate decline in fair value of the remaining. what was the fair value in 2011?

contingent consideration of up to $13.8 million. the contingent consideration arrangement requires additional cash payments to the former equity holders of lyric upon the achievement of certain technological and product development milestones payable during the period from june 2011 through june 2016. the company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement utilizing the income approach. changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date primarily driven by assumptions pertaining to the achievement of the defined milestones will be recognized in operating income in the period of the estimated fair value change. as of october 29, 2011, no contingent payments have been made and the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $14.0 million. the company allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, resulting in the recognition of $12.2 million of ipr&d, $18.9 million of goodwill and $3.3 million of net deferred tax liabilities. the goodwill recognized is attributable to future technologies that have yet to be determined as well as the assembled workforce of lyric. future technologies do not meet the criteria for recognition separately from goodwill because they are a part of future development and growth of the business. none of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. in addition, the company will be obligated to pay royalties to the former equity holders of lyric on revenue recognized from the sale of lyric products and licenses through the earlier of 20 years or the accrual of a maximum of $25 million. royalty payments to lyric employees require post-acquisition services to be rendered and, as such, the company will record these amounts as compensation expense in the related periods. as of october 29, 2011, no royalty payments have been made. the company recognized $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. these costs are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income. the company has not provided pro forma results of operations for integrant, audioasics and lyric herein as they were not material to the company on either an individual or an aggregate basis. the company included the results of operations of each acquisition in its consolidated statement of income from the date of such acquisition. 7. deferred compensation plan investments investments in the analog devices, inc. deferred compensation plan (the deferred compensation plan) are classified as trading. the components of the investments as of october 29, 2011 and october 30, 2010 were as follows:. - | 2011 | 2010 money market funds | $17187 | $1840 mutual funds | 9223 | 6850 total deferred compensation plan investments | $26410 | $8690 the fair values of these investments are based on published market quotes on october 29, 2011 and october 30, 2010, respectively. adjustments to the fair value of, and income pertaining to, deferred compensation plan investments are recorded in operating expenses. gross realized and unrealized gains and losses from trading securities were not material in fiscal 2011, 2010 or 2009. the company has recorded a corresponding liability for amounts owed to the deferred compensation plan participants (see note 10). these investments are specifically designated as available to the company solely for the purpose of paying benefits under the deferred compensation plan. however, in the event the company became insolvent, the investments would be available to all unsecured general creditors. 8. other investments other investments consist of equity securities and other long-term investments. investments are stated at fair value, which is based on market quotes or on a cost-basis, dependent on the nature of the investment, as appropriate. adjustments to the fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded as an increase or decrease analog devices, inc. notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 (continued). what was the total deferred compensation plan investments in 2011? 26410.0 and in 2010?

with apb no. 25. instead, companies will be required to account for such transactions using a fair-value method and recognize the related expense associated with share-based payments in the statement of operations. sfas 123r is effective for us as of january 1, 2006. we have historically accounted for share-based payments to employees under apb no. 25 2019s intrinsic value method. as such, we generally have not recognized compensation expense for options granted to employees. we will adopt the provisions of sfas 123r under the modified prospective method, in which compensation cost for all share-based payments granted or modified after the effective date is recognized based upon the requirements of sfas 123r, and compensation cost for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date that are unvested as of the effective date of sfas 123r is recognized based on sfas 123. tax benefits will be recognized related to the cost for share-based payments to the extent the equity instrument would ordinarily result in a future tax deduction under existing law. tax expense will be recognized to write off excess deferred tax assets when the tax deduction upon settlement of a vested option is less than the expense recorded in the statement of operations (to the extent not offset by prior tax credits for settlements where the tax deduction was greater than the fair value cost). we estimate that we will recognize equity-based compensation expense of approximately $35 million to $38 million for the year ending december 31, 2006. this amount is subject to revisions as we finalize certain assumptions related to 2006, including the size and nature of awards and forfeiture rates. sfas 123r also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow rather than as operating cash flow as was previously required. we cannot estimate what the future tax benefits will be as the amounts depend on, among other factors, future employee stock option exercises. due to the our tax loss position, there was no operating cash inflow realized for december 31, 2005 and 2004 for such excess tax deductions. in march 2005, the sec issued staff accounting bulletin (sab) no. 107 regarding the staff 2019s interpretation of sfas 123r. this interpretation provides the staff 2019s views regarding interactions between sfas 123r and certain sec rules and regulations and provides interpretations of the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. the interpretive guidance is intended to assist companies in applying the provisions of sfas 123r and investors and users of the financial statements in analyzing the information provided. we will follow the guidance prescribed in sab no. 107 in connection with our adoption of sfas 123r. information presented pursuant to the indentures of our 7.50% (7.50%) notes, 7.125% (7.125%) notes and ati 7.25% (7.25%) the following table sets forth information that is presented solely to address certain tower cash flow reporting requirements contained in the indentures for our 7.50% (7.50%) notes, 7.125% (7.125%) notes and ati 7.25% (7.25%) notes. the information contained in note 19 to our consolidated financial statements is also presented to address certain reporting requirements contained in the indenture for our ati 7.25% (7.25%) notes. the following table presents tower cash flow, adjusted consolidated cash flow and non-tower cash flow for the company and its restricted subsidiaries, as defined in the indentures for the applicable notes (in thousands):. tower cash flow for the three months ended december 31 2005 | $139590 consolidated cash flow for the twelve months ended december 31 2005 | $498266 less: tower cash flow for the twelve months ended december 31 2005 | -524804 (524804) plus: four times tower cash flow for the three months ended december 31 2005 | 558360 adjusted consolidated cash flow for the twelve months ended december 31 2005 | $531822 non-tower cash flow for the twelve months ended december 31 2005 | $-30584 (30584) . what is the value of non-tower cash flow for the twelve months ended december 31 2005? 30584.0 what is that expressed as a positive number?

notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 (continued) in connection with these discover related purchases, we have sold the contractual rights to future commissions on discover transactions to certain of our isos. contractual rights sold totaled $7.6 million during the year ended may 31, 2008 and $1.0 million during fiscal 2009. such sale proceeds are generally collected in installments over periods ranging from three to nine months. during fiscal 2009, we collected $4.4 million of such proceeds, which are included in the proceeds from sale of investment and contractual rights in our consolidated statement of cash flows. we do not recognize gains on these sales of contractual rights at the time of sale. proceeds are deferred and recognized as a reduction of the related commission expense. during fiscal 2009, we recognized $1.2 million of such deferred sales proceeds as other long-term liabilities. other 2008 acquisitions during fiscal 2008, we acquired a majority of the assets of euroenvios money transfer, s.a. and euroenvios conecta, s.l., which we collectively refer to as lfs spain. lfs spain consisted of two privately- held corporations engaged in money transmittal and ancillary services from spain to settlement locations primarily in latin america. the purpose of the acquisition was to further our strategy of expanding our customer base and market share by opening additional branch locations. during fiscal 2008, we acquired a series of money transfer branch locations in the united states. the purpose of these acquisitions was to increase the market presence of our dolex-branded money transfer offering. the following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocations of all these fiscal 2008 business acquisitions (in thousands):. - | total goodwill | $13536 customer-related intangible assets | 4091 contract-based intangible assets | 1031 property and equipment | 267 other current assets | 502 total assets acquired | 19427 current liabilities | -2347 (2347) minority interest in equity of subsidiary (at historical cost) | -486 (486) net assets acquired | $16594 the customer-related intangible assets have amortization periods of up to 14 years. the contract-based intangible assets have amortization periods of 3 to 10 years. these business acquisitions were not significant to our consolidated financial statements and accordingly, we have not provided pro forma information relating to these acquisitions. in addition, during fiscal 2008, we acquired a customer list and long-term merchant referral agreement in our canadian merchant services channel for $1.7 million. the value assigned to the customer list of $0.1 million was expensed immediately. the remaining value was assigned to the merchant referral agreement and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life of 10 years. fiscal 2007 on july 24, 2006, we completed the purchase of a fifty-six percent ownership interest in the asia-pacific merchant acquiring business of the hongkong and shanghai banking corporation limited, or hsbc asia pacific. this business provides card payment processing services to merchants in the asia-pacific region. the. in the year of 2008, what were the preliminary purchase price allocations related to contract-based intangible assets, in thousands? 1031.0 and considering its amortization period, what was their average annual amortization expense? 103.1 and concerning the total assets in that same acquisition, what amount of them was due to goodwill?

levels. we evaluated the design of market street, its capital structure, the note, and relationships among the variable interest holders. based on this analysis and under accounting guidance effective during 2009 and 2008, we are not the primary beneficiary and therefore the assets and liabilities of market street are not included on our consolidated balance sheet. we considered changes to the variable interest holders (such as new expected loss note investors and changes to program- level credit enhancement providers), terms of expected loss notes, and new types of risks related to market street as reconsideration events. we reviewed the activities of market street on at least a quarterly basis to determine if a reconsideration event has occurred. tax credit investments we make certain equity investments in various limited partnerships or limited liability companies (llcs) that sponsor affordable housing projects utilizing the low income housing tax credit (lihtc) pursuant to sections 42 and 47 of the internal revenue code. the purpose of these investments is to achieve a satisfactory return on capital, to facilitate the sale of additional affordable housing product offerings and to assist us in achieving goals associated with the community reinvestment act. the primary activities of the investments include the identification, development and operation of multi-family housing that is leased to qualifying residential tenants. generally, these types of investments are funded through a combination of debt and equity. we typically invest in these partnerships as a limited partner or non-managing member. also, we are a national syndicator of affordable housing equity (together with the investments described above, the 201clihtc investments 201d). in these syndication transactions, we create funds in which our subsidiaries are the general partner or managing member and sell limited partnership or non-managing member interests to third parties, and in some cases may also purchase a limited partnership or non-managing member interest in the fund. the purpose of this business is to generate income from the syndication of these funds, generate servicing fees by managing the funds, and earn tax credits to reduce our tax liability. general partner or managing member activities include selecting, evaluating, structuring, negotiating, and closing the fund investments in operating limited partnerships, as well as oversight of the ongoing operations of the fund portfolio. we evaluate our interests and third party interests in the limited partnerships/llcs in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary. the primary beneficiary determination is based on which party absorbs a majority of the variability. the primary sources of variability in lihtc investments are the tax credits, tax benefits due to passive losses on the investments and development and operating cash flows. we have consolidated lihtc investments in which we absorb a majority of the variability and thus are considered the primary beneficiary. the assets are primarily included in equity investments and other assets on our consolidated balance sheet with the liabilities classified in other liabilities and third party investors 2019 interests included in the equity section as noncontrolling interests. neither creditors nor equity investors in the lihtc investments have any recourse to our general credit. the consolidated aggregate assets and liabilities of these lihtc investments are provided in the consolidated vies 2013 pnc is primary beneficiary table and reflected in the 201cother 201d business segment. we also have lihtc investments in which we are not the primary beneficiary, but are considered to have a significant variable interest based on our interests in the partnership/llc. these investments are disclosed in the non-consolidated vies 2013 significant variable interests table. the table also reflects our maximum exposure to loss. our maximum exposure to loss is equal to our legally binding equity commitments adjusted for recorded impairment and partnership results. we use the equity and cost methods to account for our investment in these entities with the investments reflected in equity investments on our consolidated balance sheet. in addition, we increase our recognized investments and recognize a liability for all legally binding unfunded equity commitments. these liabilities are reflected in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. credit risk transfer transaction national city bank, (a former pnc subsidiary which merged into pnc bank, n.a. in november 2009) sponsored a special purpose entity (spe) and concurrently entered into a credit risk transfer agreement with an independent third party to mitigate credit losses on a pool of nonconforming mortgage loans originated by its former first franklin business unit. the spe was formed with a small equity contribution and was structured as a bankruptcy-remote entity so that its creditors have no recourse to us. in exchange for a perfected security interest in the cash flows of the nonconforming mortgage loans, the spe issued to us asset-backed securities in the form of senior, mezzanine, and subordinated equity notes. the spe was deemed to be a vie as its equity was not sufficient to finance its activities. we were determined to be the primary beneficiary of the spe as we would absorb the majority of the expected losses of the spe through our holding of the asset-backed securities. accordingly, this spe was consolidated and all of the entity 2019s assets, liabilities, and. in the year of 2009, considering the percentage of the total facilities the bbb/baa ones represented, if there had been 50

proportional free cash flow (a non-gaap measure) we define proportional free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less maintenance capital expenditures (including non-recoverable environmental capital expenditures), adjusted for the estimated impact of noncontrolling interests. the proportionate share of cash flows and related adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interests in our subsidiaries comprise the proportional adjustment factor presented in the reconciliation below. upon the company's adoption of the accounting guidance for service concession arrangements effective january 1, 2015, capital expenditures related to service concession assets that would have been classified as investing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows are now classified as operating activities. see note 1 2014general and summary of significant accounting policies of this form 10-k for further information on the adoption of this guidance. beginning in the quarter ended march 31, 2015, the company changed the definition of proportional free cash flow to exclude the cash flows for capital expenditures related to service concession assets that are now classified within net cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. the proportional adjustment factor for these capital expenditures is presented in the reconciliation below. we also exclude environmental capital expenditures that are expected to be recovered through regulatory, contractual or other mechanisms. an example of recoverable environmental capital expenditures is ipl's investment in mats-related environmental upgrades that are recovered through a tracker. see item 1. 2014us sbu 2014ipl 2014environmental matters for details of these investments. the gaap measure most comparable to proportional free cash flow is cash flows from operating activities. we believe that proportional free cash flow better reflects the underlying business performance of the company, as it measures the cash generated by the business, after the funding of maintenance capital expenditures, that may be available for investing or repaying debt or other purposes. factors in this determination include the impact of noncontrolling interests, where aes consolidates the results of a subsidiary that is not wholly-owned by the company. the presentation of free cash flow has material limitations. proportional free cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to cash from operating activities, which is determined in accordance with gaap. proportional free cash flow does not represent our cash flow available for discretionary payments because it excludes certain payments that are required or to which we have committed, such as debt service requirements and dividend payments. our definition of proportional free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. calculation of proportional free cash flow (in millions) 2015 2014 2013 2015/2014change 2014/2013 change. calculation of proportional free cash flow (in millions) | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | 2015/2014 change | 2014/2013 change net cash provided by operating activities | $2134 | $1791 | $2715 | $343 | $-924 (924) add: capital expenditures related to service concession assets (1) | 165 | 2014 | 2014 | 165 | 2014 adjusted operating cash flow | 2299 | 1791 | 2715 | 508 | -924 (924) less: proportional adjustment factor on operating cash activities (2) (3) | -558 (558) | -359 (359) | -834 (834) | -199 (199) | 475 proportional adjusted operating cash flow | 1741 | 1432 | 1881 | 309 | -449 (449) less: proportional maintenance capital expenditures net of reinsurance proceeds (2) | -449 (449) | -485 (485) | -535 (535) | 36 | 50 less: proportional non-recoverable environmental capital expenditures (2) (4) | -51 (51) | -56 (56) | -75 (75) | 5 | 19 proportional free cash flow | $1241 | $891 | $1271 | $350 | $-380 (380) (1) service concession asset expenditures excluded from proportional free cash flow non-gaap metric. (2) the proportional adjustment factor, proportional maintenance capital expenditures (net of reinsurance proceeds) and proportional non-recoverable environmental capital expenditures are calculated by multiplying the percentage owned by noncontrolling interests for each entity by its corresponding consolidated cash flow metric and are totaled to the resulting figures. for example, parent company a owns 20% (20%) of subsidiary company b, a consolidated subsidiary. thus, subsidiary company b has an 80% (80%) noncontrolling interest. assuming a consolidated net cash flow from operating activities of $100 from subsidiary b, the proportional adjustment factor for subsidiary b would equal $80 (or $100 x 80% (80%)). the company calculates the proportional adjustment factor for each consolidated business in this manner and then sums these amounts to determine the total proportional adjustment factor used in the reconciliation. the proportional adjustment factor may differ from the proportion of income attributable to noncontrolling interests as a result of (a) non-cash items which impact income but not cash and (b) aes' ownership interest in the subsidiary where such items occur. (3) includes proportional adjustment amount for service concession asset expenditures of $84 million for the year ended december 31, 2015. the company adopted service concession accounting effective january 1, 2015. (4) excludes ipl's proportional recoverable environmental capital expenditures of $205 million, $163 million and $110 million for the years december 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.. what is the proportional recoverable environmental capital expenditures in 2015? 205.0 what is the value in 2014? 163.0 what is the sum of those 2 years? 368.0 what is the value in 2013? 110.0 what is the total sum for all 3 years?

the aes corporation notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 (continued) december 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 the following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized

by the relevant taxing authorities for various tax years. the company regularly assesses the potential outcome of these examinations in each of the taxing jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the amount of unrecognized tax benefit recorded. while it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, we believe we have appropriately accrued for our uncertain tax benefits. however, audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements and future events that would impact our previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits and the range of anticipated increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits are subject to significant uncertainty. it is possible that the ultimate outcome of current or future examinations may exceed our provision for current unrecognized tax benefits in amounts that could be material, but cannot be estimated as of december 31, 2016. our effective tax rate and net income in any given future period could therefore be materially impacted. 22. discontinued operations brazil distribution 2014 due to a portfolio evaluation in the first half of 2016, management has decided to pursue a strategic shift of its distribution companies in brazil, aes sul and eletropaulo. the disposal of sul was completed in october 2016. in december 2016, eletropaulo underwent a corporate restructuring which is expected to, among other things, provide more liquidity of its shares. aes is continuing to pursue strategic options for eletropaulo in order to complete its strategic shift to reduce aes 2019 exposure to the brazilian distribution business, including preparation for listing its shares into the novo mercado, which is a listing segment of the brazilian stock exchange with the highest standards of corporate governance. the company executed an agreement for the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary aes sul in june 2016. we have reported the results of operations and financial position of aes sul as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. upon meeting the held-for-sale criteria, the company recognized an after tax loss of $382 million comprised of a pretax impairment charge of $783 million, offset by a tax benefit of $266 million related to the impairment of the sul long lived assets and a tax benefit of $135 million for deferred taxes related to the investment in aes sul. prior to the impairment charge in the second quarter, the carrying value of the aes sul asset group of $1.6 billion was greater than its approximate fair value less costs to sell. however, the impairment charge was limited to the carrying value of the long lived assets of the aes sul disposal group. on october 31, 2016, the company completed the sale of aes sul and received final proceeds less costs to sell of $484 million, excluding contingent consideration. upon disposal of aes sul, we incurred an additional after- tax loss on sale of $737 million. the cumulative impact to earnings of the impairment and loss on sale was $1.1 billion. this includes the reclassification of approximately $1 billion of cumulative translation losses, resulting in a net reduction to the company 2019s stockholders 2019 equity of $92 million. sul 2019s pretax loss attributable to aes for the years ended december 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1.4 billion and $32 million, respectively. sul 2019s pretax gain attributable to aes for the year ended december 31, 2014 was $133 million. prior to its classification as discontinued operations, sul was reported in the brazil sbu reportable segment. as discussed in note 1 2014general and summary of significant accounting policies, effective july 1, 2014, the company prospectively adopted asu no. 2014-08. discontinued operations prior to adoption of asu no. 2014-08 include the results of cameroon, saurashtra and various u.s. wind projects which were each sold in the first half of cameroon 2014

use of estimates the preparation of the financial statements requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. actual results could differ from those estimates. (3) significant acquisitions and dispositions acquisitions we acquired total income producing real estate related assets of $219.9 million, $948.4 million and $295.6 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. in december 2007, in order to further establish our property positions around strategic port locations, we purchased a portfolio of five industrial buildings, in seattle, virginia and houston, as well as approximately 161 acres of undeveloped land and a 12-acre container storage facility in houston. the total price was $89.7 million and was financed in part through assumption of secured debt that had a fair value of $34.3 million. of the total purchase price, $66.1 million was allocated to in-service real estate assets, $20.0 million was allocated to undeveloped land and the container storage facility, $3.3 million was allocated to lease related intangible assets, and the remaining amount was allocated to acquired working capital related assets and liabilities. this allocation of purchase price based on the fair value of assets acquired is preliminary. the results of operations for the acquired properties since the date of acquisition have been included in continuing rental operations in our consolidated financial statements. in february 2007, we completed the acquisition of bremner healthcare real estate (201cbremner 201d), a national health care development and management firm. the primary reason for the acquisition was to expand our development capabilities within the health care real estate market. the initial consideration paid to the sellers totaled $47.1 million, and the sellers may be eligible for further contingent payments over the next three years. approximately $39.0 million of the total purchase price was allocated to goodwill, which is attributable to the value of bremner 2019s overall development capabilities and its in-place workforce. the results of operations for bremner since the date of acquisition have been included in continuing operations in our consolidated financial statements. in february 2006, we acquired the majority of a washington, d.c. metropolitan area portfolio of suburban office and light industrial properties (the 201cmark winkler portfolio 201d). the assets acquired for a purchase price of approximately $867.6 million are comprised of 32 in-service properties with approximately 2.9 million square feet for rental, 166 acres of undeveloped land, as well as certain related assets of the mark winkler company, a real estate management company. the acquisition was financed primarily through assumed mortgage loans and new borrowings. the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition, as summarized below (in thousands):. operating rental properties | $602011 land held for development | 154300 total real estate investments | 756311 other assets | 10478 lease related intangible assets | 86047 goodwill | 14722 total assets acquired | 867558 debt assumed | -148527 (148527) other liabilities assumed | -5829 (5829) purchase price net of assumed liabilities | $713202 purchase price, net of assumed liabilities $713202. what is the total goodwill? 14722.0 what about total assets?

included in the corporate and consumer loan tables above are purchased distressed loans, which are loans that have evidenced significant credit deterioration subsequent to origination but prior to acquisition by citigroup. in accordance with sop 03-3, the difference between the total expected cash flows for these loans and the initial recorded investments is recognized in income over the life of the loans using a level yield. accordingly, these loans have been excluded from the impaired loan information presented above. in addition, per sop 03-3, subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows for a purchased distressed loan require a build of an allowance so the loan retains its level yield. however, increases in the expected cash flows are first recognized as a reduction of any previously established allowance and then recognized as income prospectively over the remaining life of the loan by increasing the loan 2019s level yield. where the expected cash flows cannot be reliably estimated, the purchased distressed loan is accounted for under the cost recovery method. the carrying amount of the company 2019s purchased distressed loan portfolio at december 31, 2010 was $392 million, net of an allowance of $77 million as of december 31, 2010. the changes in the accretable yield, related allowance and carrying amount net of accretable yield for 2010 are as follows: in millions of dollars accretable carrying amount of loan receivable allowance. in millions of dollars | accretable yield | carrying amount of loan receivable | allowance beginning balance | $27 | $920 | $95 purchases (1) | 1 | 130 | 2014 disposals/payments received | -11 (11) | -594 (594) | 2014 accretion | -44 (44) | 44 | 2014 builds (reductions) to the allowance | 128 | 2014 | -18 (18) increase to expected cash flows | -2 (2) | 19 | 2014 fx/other | 17 | -50 (50) | 2014 balance at december 31 2010 (2) | $116 | $469 | $77 (1) the balance reported in the column 201ccarrying amount of loan receivable 201d consists of $130 million of purchased loans accounted for under the level-yield method and $0 under the cost-recovery method. these balances represent the fair value of these loans at their acquisition date. the related total expected cash flows for the level-yield loans were $131 million at their acquisition dates. (2) the balance reported in the column 201ccarrying amount of loan receivable 201d consists of $315 million of loans accounted for under the level-yield method and $154 million accounted for under the cost-recovery method.. what is the value of the company 2019s purchased distressed loan portfolio in 2010? 392.0 what is the value of allowances in 2010?

interest rate cash flow hedges 2013 we report changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged item affects earnings. at both december 31, 2008 and 2007, we had reductions of $4 million recorded as an accumulated other comprehensive loss that is being amortized on a straight-line basis through september 30, 2014. as of december 31, 2008 and 2007, we had no interest rate cash flow hedges outstanding. earnings impact 2013 our use of derivative financial instruments had the following impact on pre-tax income for the years ended december 31: millions of dollars 2008 2007 2006. millions of dollars | 2008 | 2007 | 2006 (increase) /decrease in interest expense from interest rate hedging | $1 | $-8 (8) | $-8 (8) (increase) /decrease in fuel expense from fuel derivatives | 1 | -1 (1) | 3 increase/ (decrease) in pre-tax income | $2 | $-9 (9) | $-5 (5) fair value of debt instruments 2013 the fair value of our short- and long-term debt was estimated using quoted market prices, where available, or current borrowing rates. at december 31, 2008, the fair value of total debt is approximately $247 million less than the carrying value. at december 31, 2007, the fair value of total debt exceeded the carrying value by approximately $96 million. at december 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately $320 million and $181 million, respectively, of fixed-rate debt securities contained call provisions that allowed us to retire the debt instruments prior to final maturity, with the payment of fixed call premiums, or in certain cases, at par. sale of receivables 2013 the railroad transfers most of its accounts receivable to union pacific receivables, inc. (upri), a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, as part of a sale of receivables facility. upri sells, without recourse on a 364-day revolving basis, an undivided interest in such accounts receivable to investors. the total capacity to sell undivided interests to investors under the facility was $700 million and $600 million at december 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. the value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors under the facility was $584 million and $600 million at december 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. upri reduced the outstanding undivided interest held by investors due to a decrease in available receivables at december 31, 2008. the value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors is not included in our consolidated financial statements. the value of the undivided interest held by investors was supported by $1015 million and $1071 million of accounts receivable held by upri at december 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. at december 31, 2008 and 2007, the value of the interest retained by upri was $431 million and $471 million, respectively. this retained interest is included in accounts receivable in our consolidated financial statements. the interest sold to investors is sold at carrying value, which approximates fair value, and there is no gain or loss recognized from the transaction. the value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors could fluctuate based upon the availability of eligible receivables and is directly affected by changing business volumes and credit risks, including default and dilution. if default or dilution percentages were to increase one percentage point, the amount of eligible receivables would decrease by $6 million. should our credit rating fall below investment grade, the value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors would be reduced, and, in certain cases, the investors would have the right to discontinue the facility. the railroad services the sold receivables; however, the railroad does not recognize any servicing asset or liability as the servicing fees adequately compensate us for these responsibilities. the railroad collected approximately $17.8 billion and $16.1 billion during the years ended december 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. upri used certain of these proceeds to purchase new receivables under the facility.. what was the difference in sold receivables between 2007 and 2008?

note 6: inventories we use the last-in, first-out (lifo) method for the majority of our inventories located in the continental u.s. other inventories are valued by the first-in, first-out (fifo) method. fifo cost approximates current replacement cost. inventories measured using lifo must be valued at the lower of cost or market. inventories measured using fifo must be valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. inventories at december 31 consisted of the following:. - | 2018 | 2017 finished products | $988.1 | $1211.4 work in process | 2628.2 | 2697.7 raw materials and supplies | 506.5 | 488.8 total (approximates replacement cost) | 4122.8 | 4397.9 increase (reduction) to lifo cost | -11.0 (11.0) | 60.4 inventories | $4111.8 | $4458.3 inventories valued under the lifo method comprised $1.57 billion and $1.56 billion of total inventories at december 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. note 7: financial instruments financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables and interest- bearing investments. wholesale distributors of life-science products account for a substantial portion of our trade receivables; collateral is generally not required. we seek to mitigate the risk associated with this concentration through our ongoing credit-review procedures and insurance. a large portion of our cash is held by a few major financial institutions. we monitor our exposures with these institutions and do not expect any of these institutions to fail to meet their obligations. major financial institutions represent the largest component of our investments in corporate debt securities. in accordance with documented corporate risk-management policies, we monitor the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution or corporate issuer. we are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to risk-management instruments but do not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit ratings. we consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. the cost of these investments approximates fair value. our equity investments are accounted for using three different methods depending on the type of equity investment: 2022 investments in companies over which we have significant influence but not a controlling interest are accounted for using the equity method, with our share of earnings or losses reported in other-net, (income) expense. 2022 for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, we measure these investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. any change in recorded value is recorded in other-net, (income) expense. 2022 our public equity investments are measured and carried at fair value. any change in fair value is recognized in other-net, (income) expense. we review equity investments other than public equity investments for indications of impairment on a regular basis. our derivative activities are initiated within the guidelines of documented corporate risk-management policies and are intended to offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities, and transactions being hedged. management reviews the correlation and effectiveness of our derivatives on a quarterly basis.. what was the value of inventories in 2018? 4111.8 what was the value in 2017?

at december 31, 2015 and 2014, we had a modest working capital surplus. this reflects a strong cash position that provides enhanced liquidity in an uncertain economic environment. in addition, we believe we have adequate access to capital markets to meet any foreseeable cash requirements, and we have sufficient financial capacity to satisfy our current liabilities. cash flows. millions | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 cash provided by operating activities | $7344 | $7385 | $6823 cash used in investing activities | -4476 (4476) | -4249 (4249) | -3405 (3405) cash used in financing activities | -3063 (3063) | -2982 (2982) | -3049 (3049) net change in cash and cash equivalents | $-195 (195) | $154 | $369 operating activities cash provided by operating activities decreased in 2015 compared to 2014 due to lower net income and changes in working capital, partially offset by the timing of tax payments. federal tax law provided for 100% (100%) bonus depreciation for qualified investments made during 2011 and 50% (50%) bonus depreciation for qualified investments made during 2012-2013. as a result, the company deferred a substantial portion of its 2011-2013 income tax expense, contributing to the positive operating cash flow in those years. congress extended 50% (50%) bonus depreciation for 2014, but this extension occurred in december, and the related benefit was realized in 2015, rather than 2014. similarly, in december of 2015, congress extended bonus depreciation through 2019, which delayed the benefit of 2015 bonus depreciation into 2016. bonus depreciation will be at a rate of 50% (50%) for 2015, 2016 and 2017, 40% (40%) for 2018 and 30% (30%) for 2019. higher net income in 2014 increased cash provided by operating activities compared to 2013, despite higher income tax payments. 2014 income tax payments were higher than 2013 primarily due to higher income, but also because we paid taxes previously deferred by bonus depreciation. investing activities higher capital investments in locomotives and freight cars, including $327 million in early lease buyouts, which we exercised due to favorable economic terms and market conditions, drove the increase in cash used in investing activities in 2015 compared to 2014. higher capital investments, including the early buyout of the long-term operating lease of our headquarters building for approximately $261 million, drove the increase in cash used in investing activities in 2014 compared to 2013. significant investments also were made for new locomotives, freight cars and containers, and capacity and commercial facility projects. capital investments in 2014 also included $99 million for the early buyout of locomotives and freight cars under long-term operating leases, which we exercised due to favorable economic terms and market conditions.. what was the difference in cash provided by operating activities between 2013 and 2014? 562.0 so what was the percentage change over this time?

100% (100%) | 100% (100%) (a) the majority of our facilities are not explicitly rated by the rating agencies. all facilities are structured to meet rating agency standards for applicable rating levels. we evaluated the design of market street, its capital structure, the note, and relationships among the variable interest holders. based on this analysis and under accounting guidance effective during 2009 and 2008, we are not the primary beneficiary and therefore the assets and liabilities of market street are not included on our consolidated balance sheet. we considered changes to the variable interest holders (such as new expected loss note investors and changes to program- level credit enhancement providers), terms of expected loss notes, and new types of risks related to market street as reconsideration events. we reviewed the activities of market street on at least a quarterly basis to determine if a reconsideration event has occurred. tax credit investments we make certain equity investments in various limited partnerships or limited liability companies (llcs) that sponsor affordable housing projects utilizing the low income housing tax credit (lihtc) pursuant to sections 42 and 47 of the internal revenue code. the purpose of these investments is to achieve a satisfactory return on capital, to facilitate the sale of additional affordable housing product offerings and to assist us in achieving goals associated with the community reinvestment act. the primary activities of the investments include the identification, development and operation of multi-family housing that is leased to qualifying residential tenants. generally, these types of investments are funded through a combination of debt and equity. we typically invest in these partnerships as a limited partner or non-managing member. also, we are a national syndicator of affordable housing equity (together with the investments described above, the 201clihtc investments 201d). in these syndication transactions, we create funds in which our subsidiaries are the general partner or managing member and sell limited partnership or non-managing member interests to third parties, and in some cases may also purchase a limited partnership or non-managing member interest in the fund. the purpose of this business is to generate income from the syndication of these funds, generate servicing fees by managing the funds, and earn tax credits to reduce our tax liability. general partner or managing member activities include selecting, evaluating, structuring, negotiating, and closing the fund investments in operating limited partnerships, as well as oversight of the ongoing operations of the fund portfolio. we evaluate our interests and third party interests in the limited partnerships/llcs in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary. the primary beneficiary determination is based on which party absorbs a majority of the variability. the primary sources of variability in lihtc investments are the tax credits, tax benefits due to passive losses on the investments and development and operating cash flows. we have consolidated lihtc investments in which we absorb a majority of the variability and thus are considered the primary beneficiary. the assets are primarily included in equity investments and other assets on our consolidated balance sheet with the liabilities classified in other liabilities and third party investors 2019 interests included in the equity section as noncontrolling interests. neither creditors nor equity investors in the lihtc investments have any recourse to our general credit. the consolidated aggregate assets and liabilities of these lihtc investments are provided in the consolidated vies 2013 pnc is primary beneficiary table and reflected in the 201cother 201d business segment. we also have lihtc investments in which we are not the primary beneficiary, but are considered to have a significant variable interest based on our interests in the partnership/llc. these investments are disclosed in the non-consolidated vies 2013 significant variable interests table. the table also reflects our maximum exposure to loss. our maximum exposure to loss is equal to our legally binding equity commitments adjusted for recorded impairment and partnership results. we use the equity and cost methods to account for our investment in these entities with the investments reflected in equity investments on our consolidated balance sheet. in addition, we increase our recognized investments and recognize a liability for all legally binding unfunded equity commitments. these liabilities are reflected in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. credit risk transfer transaction national city bank, (a former pnc subsidiary which merged into pnc bank, n.a. in november 2009) sponsored a special purpose entity (spe) and concurrently entered into a credit risk transfer agreement with an independent third party to mitigate credit losses on a pool of nonconforming mortgage loans originated by its former first franklin business unit. the spe was formed with a small equity contribution and was structured as a bankruptcy-remote entity so that its creditors have no recourse to us. in exchange for a perfected security interest in the cash flows of the nonconforming mortgage loans, the spe issued to us asset-backed securities in the form of senior, mezzanine, and subordinated equity notes. the spe was deemed to be a vie as its equity was not sufficient to finance its activities. we were determined to be the primary beneficiary of the spe as we would absorb the majority of the expected losses of the spe through our holding of the asset-backed securities. accordingly, this spe was consolidated and all of the entity 2019s assets, liabilities, and. what is the aaa interest rate in 2009? 14.0 what is it in 2008? 19.0 what is the sum?

income tax liabilities tax liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits as of 30 september 2018 were $233.6. these tax liabilities were excluded from the contractual obligations table as it is impractical to determine a cash impact by year given that payments will vary according to changes in tax laws, tax rates, and our operating results. in addition, there are uncertainties in timing of the effective settlement of our uncertain tax positions with respective taxing authorities. however, the contractual obligations table above includes our accrued liability of approximately $184 for deemed repatriation tax that is payable over eight years related to the tax act. refer to note 22, income taxes, to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. obligation for future contribution to an equity affiliate on 19 april 2015, a joint venture between air products and acwa holding entered into a 20-year oxygen and nitrogen supply agreement to supply saudi aramco 2019s oil refinery and power plant being built in jazan, saudi arabia. air products owns 25% (25%) of the joint venture and guarantees the repayment of its share of an equity bridge loan. in total, we expect to invest approximately $100 in this joint venture. as of 30 september 2018, we recorded a noncurrent liability of $94.4 for our obligation to make future equity contributions in 2020 based on our proportionate share of the advances received by the joint venture under the loan. expected investment in joint venture on 12 august 2018, air products entered an agreement to form a gasification/power joint venture ("jv") with saudi aramco and acwa in jazan, saudi arabia. air products will own at least 55% (55%) of the jv, with saudi aramco and acwa power owning the balance. the jv will purchase the gasification assets, power block, and the associated utilities from saudi aramco for approximately $8 billion. our expected investment has been excluded from the contractual obligations table above pending closing, which is currently expected in fiscal year 2020. the jv will own and operate the facility under a 25-year contract for a fixed monthly fee. saudi aramco will supply feedstock to the jv, and the jv will produce power, hydrogen and other utilities for saudi aramco. pension benefits the company and certain of its subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans that cover a substantial portion of its worldwide employees. the principal defined benefit pension plans are the u.s. salaried pension plan and the u.k. pension plan. these plans were closed to new participants in 2005, after which defined contribution plans were offered to new employees. the shift to defined contribution plans is expected to continue to reduce volatility of both plan expense and contributions. the fair market value of plan assets for our defined benefit pension plans as of the 30 september 2018 measurement date decreased to $4273.1 from $4409.2 at the end of fiscal year 2017. the projected benefit obligation for these plans was $4583.3 and $5107.2 at the end of fiscal years 2018 and 2017, respectively. the net unfunded liability decreased $387.8 from $698.0 to $310.2, primarily due to higher discount rates and favorable asset experience. refer to note 16, retirement benefits, to the consolidated financial statements for comprehensive and detailed disclosures on our postretirement benefits. pension expense. - | 2018 | 2017 | 2016 pension expense 2013 continuing operations | $91.8 | $72.0 | $55.8 settlements termination benefits and curtailments (included above) | 48.9 | 15.0 | 6.0 weighted average discount rate 2013 service cost | 3.2% (3.2%) | 2.9% (2.9%) | 4.1% (4.1%) weighted average discount rate 2013 interest cost | 2.9% (2.9%) | 2.5% (2.5%) | 3.4% (3.4%) weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets | 6.9% (6.9%) | 7.4% (7.4%) | 7.5% (7.5%) weighted average expected rate of compensation increase | 3.5% (3.5%) | 3.5% (3.5%) | 3.5% (3.5%) . what was the total of operating expenses in 2018? 91.8 and what was it in 2017?

(upri), a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, as part of a sale of receivables facility. upri sells, without recourse on a 364-day revolving basis, an undivided interest in such accounts receivable to investors. the total capacity to sell undivided interests to investors under the facility was $700 million and $600 million at december 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. the value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors under the facility was $584 million and $600 million at december 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. upri reduced the outstanding undivided interest held by investors due to a decrease in available receivables at december 31, 2008. the value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors is not included in our consolidated financial statements. the value of the undivided interest held by investors was supported by $1015 million and $1071 million of accounts receivable held by upri at december 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. at december 31, 2008 and 2007, the value of the interest retained by upri was $431 million and $471 million, respectively. this retained interest is included in accounts receivable in our consolidated financial statements. the interest sold to investors is sold at carrying value, which approximates fair value, and there is no gain or loss recognized from the transaction. the value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors could fluctuate based upon the availability of eligible receivables and is directly affected by changing business volumes and credit risks, including default and dilution. if default or dilution percentages were to increase one percentage point, the amount of eligible receivables would decrease by $6 million. should our credit rating fall below investment grade, the value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors would be reduced, and, in certain cases, the investors would have the right to discontinue the facility. the railroad services the sold receivables; however, the railroad does not recognize any servicing asset or liability as the servicing fees adequately compensate us for these responsibilities. the railroad collected approximately $17.8 billion and $16.1 billion during the years ended december 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. upri used certain of these proceeds to purchase new receivables under the facility.. what was the change in the value of the interest retained by upri from 2007 to 2008?

when we purchase an asset, we capitalize all costs necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use. however, many of our assets are self-constructed. a large portion of our capital expenditures is for track structure expansion (capacity projects) and replacement (program projects), which is typically performed by our employees. approximately 13% (13%) of our full-time equivalent employees are dedicated to the construction of capital assets. costs that are directly attributable or overhead costs that relate directly to capital projects are capitalized. direct costs that are capitalized as part of self-constructed assets include material, labor, and work equipment. indirect costs are capitalized if they clearly relate to the construction of the asset. these costs are allocated using appropriate statistical bases. the capitalization of indirect costs is consistent with fasb statement no. 67, accounting for costs and initial rental operations of real estate projects. general and administrative expenditures are expensed as incurred. normal repairs and maintenance are also expensed as incurred, while costs incurred that extend the useful life of an asset, improve the safety of our operations or improve operating efficiency are capitalized. assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease. 10. accounts payable and other current liabilities dec. 31, dec. 31, millions of dollars 2008 2007. millions of dollars | dec. 31 2008 | dec. 31 2007 accounts payable | $629 | $732 accrued wages and vacation | 367 | 394 accrued casualty costs | 390 | 371 income and other taxes | 207 | 343 dividends and interest | 328 | 284 equipment rents payable | 93 | 103 other | 546 | 675 total accounts payable and other current liabilities | $2560 | $2902 11. fair value measurements during the first quarter of 2008, we fully adopted fasb statement no. 157, fair value measurements (fas 157). fas 157 established a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. the adoption of fas 157 had no impact on our financial position or results of operations. fas 157 applies to all assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis. this enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. the statement requires that each asset and liability carried at fair value be classified into one of the following categories: level 1: quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. level 2: observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. level 3: unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.. what was the difference in accrued wages and vacation between 2007 and 2008?

(see further discussion in this item 7 under liquidity and capital resources 2013 capital plan.) f0b7 financial expectations 2013 economic conditions in many of our market sectors continue to drive uncertainty with respect to our volume levels. we expect volumes to be down slightly in 2016 compared to 2015, but will depend on the overall economy and market conditions. the strong u.s. dollar and historic low commodity prices could also drive continued volatility. one of the biggest uncertainties is the outlook for energy markets, which will bring both challenges and opportunities. in the current environment, we expect continued margin improvement driven by continued pricing opportunities, ongoing productivity initiatives, and the ability to leverage our resources and strengthen our franchise. over the longer term, we expect the overall u.s. economy to continue to improve at a modest pace, with some markets outperforming others.. what was the free cash flow in 2015? 524.0 and what was the cash provided by operating activities in that same year? 7344.0 how much, then, did the first represent in relation to the second? 0.07135 and concerning that free cash flow, what was the change in it between the two previous years, from 2013 to 2014? -581.0 what is this change as a percent of the 2013 free cash flow?

at december 31, 2015 and 2014, we had a modest working capital surplus. this reflects a strong cash position that provides enhanced liquidity in an uncertain economic environment. in addition, we believe we have adequate access to capital markets to meet any foreseeable cash requirements, and we have sufficient financial capacity to satisfy our current liabilities. cash flows. millions | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 cash provided by operating activities | $7344 | $7385 | $6823 cash used in investing activities | -4476 (4476) | -4249 (4249) | -3405 (3405) cash used in financing activities | -3063 (3063) | -2982 (2982) | -3049 (3049) net change in cash and cash equivalents | $-195 (195) | $154 | $369 operating activities cash provided by operating activities decreased in 2015 compared to 2014 due to lower net income and changes in working capital, partially offset by the timing of tax payments. federal tax law provided for 100% (100%) bonus depreciation for qualified investments made during 2011 and 50% (50%) bonus depreciation for qualified investments made during 2012-2013. as a result, the company deferred a substantial portion of its 2011-2013 income tax expense, contributing to the positive operating cash flow in those years. congress extended 50% (50%) bonus depreciation for 2014, but this extension occurred in december, and the related benefit was realized in 2015, rather than 2014. similarly, in december of 2015, congress extended bonus depreciation through 2019, which delayed the benefit of 2015 bonus depreciation into 2016. bonus depreciation will be at a rate of 50% (50%) for 2015, 2016 and 2017, 40% (40%) for 2018 and 30% (30%) for 2019. higher net income in 2014 increased cash provided by operating activities compared to 2013, despite higher income tax payments. 2014 income tax payments were higher than 2013 primarily due to higher income, but also because we paid taxes previously deferred by bonus depreciation. investing activities higher capital investments in locomotives and freight cars, including $327 million in early lease buyouts, which we exercised due to favorable economic terms and market conditions, drove the increase in cash used in investing activities in 2015 compared to 2014. higher capital investments, including the early buyout of the long-term operating lease of our headquarters building for approximately $261 million, drove the increase in cash used in investing activities in 2014 compared to 2013. significant investments also were made for new locomotives, freight cars and containers, and capacity and commercial facility projects. capital investments in 2014 also included $99 million for the early buyout of locomotives and freight cars under long-term operating leases, which we exercised due to favorable economic terms and market conditions.. what was the cash provided by operating activities for 2015?

the aes corporation notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 (continued) december 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 the following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for the periods indicated (in millions):. december 31, | 2016 | 2015 | 2014 balance at january 1 | $373 | $394 | $392 additions for current year tax positions | 8 | 7 | 7 additions for tax positions of prior years | 1 | 12 | 14 reductions for tax positions of prior years | -1 (1) | -7 (7) | -2 (2) effects of foreign currency translation | 2 | -7 (7) | -3 (3) settlements | -13 (13) | -19 (19) | -2 (2) lapse of statute of limitations | -1 (1) | -7 (7) | -12 (12) balance at december 31 | $369 | $373 | $394 the company and certain of its subsidiaries are currently under examination by the relevant taxing authorities for various tax years. the company regularly assesses the potential outcome of these examinations in each of the taxing jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the amount of unrecognized tax benefit recorded. while it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, we believe we have appropriately accrued for our uncertain tax benefits. however, audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements and future events that would impact our previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits and the range of anticipated increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits are subject to significant uncertainty. it is possible that the ultimate outcome of current or future examinations may exceed our provision for current unrecognized tax benefits in amounts that could be material, but cannot be estimated as of december 31, 2016. our effective tax rate and net income in any given future period could therefore be materially impacted. 22. discontinued operations brazil distribution 2014 due to a portfolio evaluation in the first half of 2016, management has decided to pursue a strategic shift of its distribution companies in brazil, aes sul and eletropaulo. the disposal of sul was completed in october 2016. in december 2016, eletropaulo underwent a corporate restructuring which is expected to, among other things, provide more liquidity of its shares. aes is continuing to pursue strategic options for eletropaulo in order to complete its strategic shift to reduce aes 2019 exposure to the brazilian distribution business, including preparation for listing its shares into the novo mercado, which is a listing segment of the brazilian stock exchange with the highest standards of corporate governance. the company executed an agreement for the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary aes sul in june 2016. we have reported the results of operations and financial position of aes sul as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. upon meeting the held-for-sale criteria, the company recognized an after tax loss of $382 million comprised of a pretax impairment charge of $783 million, offset by a tax benefit of $266 million related to the impairment of the sul long lived assets and a tax benefit of $135 million for deferred taxes related to the investment in aes sul. prior to the impairment charge in the second quarter, the carrying value of the aes sul asset group of $1.6 billion was greater than its approximate fair value less costs to sell. however, the impairment charge was limited to the carrying value of the long lived assets of the aes sul disposal group. on october 31, 2016, the company completed the sale of aes sul and received final proceeds less costs to sell of $484 million, excluding contingent consideration. upon disposal of aes sul, we incurred an additional after- tax loss on sale of $737 million. the cumulative impact to earnings of the impairment and loss on sale was $1.1 billion. this includes the reclassification of approximately $1 billion of cumulative translation losses, resulting in a net reduction to the company 2019s stockholders 2019 equity of $92 million. sul 2019s pretax loss attributable to aes for the years ended december 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1.4 billion and $32 million, respectively. sul 2019s pretax gain attributable to aes for the year ended december 31, 2014 was $133 million. prior to its classification as discontinued operations, sul was reported in the brazil sbu reportable segment. as discussed in note 1 2014general and summary of significant accounting policies, effective july 1, 2014, the company prospectively adopted asu no. 2014-08. discontinued operations prior to adoption of asu no. 2014-08 include the results of cameroon, saurashtra and various u.s. wind projects which were each sold in the first half of cameroon 2014 in september 2013, the company executed agreements for the sale of its 56% (56%) equity interests in businesses in cameroon: sonel, an integrated utility, kribi, a gas and light fuel oil plant, and

use of estimates the preparation of the financial statements requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. actual results could differ from those estimates. (3) significant acquisitions and dispositions acquisitions we acquired total income producing real estate related assets of $219.9 million, $948.4 million and $295.6 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. in december 2007, in order to further establish our property positions around strategic port locations, we purchased a portfolio of five industrial buildings, in seattle, virginia and houston, as well as approximately 161 acres of undeveloped land and a 12-acre container storage facility in houston. the total price was $89.7 million and was financed in part through assumption of secured debt that had a fair value of $34.3 million. of the total purchase price, $66.1 million was allocated to in-service real estate assets, $20.0 million was allocated to undeveloped land and the container storage facility, $3.3 million was allocated to lease related intangible assets, and the remaining amount was allocated to acquired working capital related assets and liabilities. this allocation of purchase price based on the fair value of assets acquired is preliminary. the results of operations for the acquired properties since the date of acquisition have been included in continuing rental operations in our consolidated financial statements. in february 2007, we completed the acquisition of bremner healthcare real estate (201cbremner 201d), a national health care development and management firm. the primary reason for the acquisition was to expand our development capabilities within the health care real estate market. the initial consideration paid to the sellers totaled $47.1 million, and the sellers may be eligible for further contingent payments over the next three years. approximately $39.0 million of the total purchase price was allocated to goodwill, which is attributable to the value of bremner 2019s overall development capabilities and its in-place workforce. the results of operations for bremner since the date of acquisition have been included in continuing operations in our consolidated financial statements. in february 2006, we acquired the majority of a washington, d.c. metropolitan area portfolio of suburban office and light industrial properties (the 201cmark winkler portfolio 201d). the assets acquired for a purchase price of approximately $867.6 million are comprised of 32 in-service properties with approximately 2.9 million square feet for rental, 166 acres of undeveloped land, as well as certain related assets of the mark winkler company, a real estate management company. the acquisition was financed primarily through assumed mortgage loans and new borrowings. the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition, as summarized below (in thousands):. operating rental properties | $602011 land held for development | 154300 total real estate investments | 756311 other assets | 10478 lease related intangible assets | 86047 goodwill | 14722 total assets acquired | 867558 debt assumed | -148527 (148527) other liabilities assumed | -5829 (5829) purchase price net of assumed liabilities | $713202 purchase price, net of assumed liabilities $713202. what was the value of liabilities assumed? 5829.0 what is the positive value of debt assumed? 148527.0 what is the sum? 154356.0 what is the sum over the value of total assets acquired?

the selection and disclosure of our critical accounting estimates have been discussed with our audit committee. the following is a discussion of the more significant assumptions, estimates, accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements: 2022 revenue recognition - we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of product has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. for our company, this means that revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss is transferred to our customers. title transfers to our customers upon shipment or upon receipt at the customer's location as determined by the sales terms for each transaction. the company estimates the cost of sales returns based on historical experience, and these estimates are normally immaterial. 2022 goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets valuation - we test goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently if events occur that would warrant such review. we perform our annual impairment analysis in the first quarter of each year. while the company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment for both goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets to determine if it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, the company elects to perform the quantitative assessment for our annual impairment analysis. the impairment analysis involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit or non-amortizable intangible asset to the carrying value. if the carrying value exceeds the fair value, goodwill or a non-amortizable intangible asset is considered impaired. to determine the fair value of goodwill, we primarily use a discounted cash flow model, supported by the market approach using earnings multiples of comparable global and local companies within the tobacco industry. at december 31, 2015, the carrying value of our goodwill was $7.4 billion, which is related to ten reporting units, each of which is comprised of a group of markets with similar economic characteristics. the estimated fair value of our ten reporting units exceeded the carrying value as of december 31, 2015. to determine the fair value of non-amortizable intangible assets, we primarily use a discounted cash flow model applying the relief-from-royalty method. we concluded that the fair value of our non-amortizable intangible assets exceeded the carrying value, and any reasonable movement in the assumptions would not result in an impairment. these discounted cash flow models include management assumptions relevant for forecasting operating cash flows, which are subject to changes in business conditions, such as volumes and prices, costs to produce, discount rates and estimated capital needs. management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values are estimated, and we believe these assumptions are consistent with the assumptions a hypothetical marketplace participant would use. since the march 28, 2008, spin-off from altria, we have not recorded a charge to earnings for an impairment of goodwill or non-amortizable intangible assets. 2022 marketing and advertising costs - we incur certain costs to support our products through programs which include advertising, marketing, consumer engagement and trade promotions. the costs of our advertising and marketing programs are expensed in accordance with u.s. gaap. recognition of the cost related to our consumer engagement and trade promotion programs contain uncertainties due to the judgment required in estimating the potential performance and compliance for each program. for volume-based incentives provided to customers, management continually assesses and estimates, by customer, the likelihood of the customer achieving the specified targets and records the reduction of revenue as the sales are made. for other trade promotions, management relies on estimated utilization rates that have been developed from historical experience. changes in the assumptions used in estimating the cost of any individual marketing program would not result in a material change in our financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows. we have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to estimate our marketing programs during the past three years. 2022 employee benefit plans - as discussed in item 8, note 13. benefit plans to our consolidated financial statements, we provide a range of benefits to our employees and retired employees, including pensions, postretirement health care and postemployment benefits (primarily severance). we record annual amounts relating to these plans based on calculations specified by u.s. gaap. these calculations include various actuarial assumptions, such as discount rates, assumed rates of return on plan assets, compensation increases, mortality, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. we review actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. as permitted by u.s. gaap, any effect of the modifications is generally amortized over future periods. we believe that the assumptions utilized in calculating our obligations under these plans are reasonable based upon our historical experience and advice from our actuaries. weighted-average discount rate assumptions for pensions and postretirement plans are as follows:. - | 2015 | 2014 u.s. pension plans | 4.30% (4.30%) | 3.95% (3.95%) non-u.s. pension plans | 1.68% (1.68%) | 1.92% (1.92%) postretirement plans | 4.45% (4.45%) | 4.20% (4.20%) we anticipate that assumption changes, coupled with decreased amortization of deferred losses, will decrease 2016 pre-tax u.s. and non- u.s. pension and postretirement expense to approximately $209 million as compared with approximately $240 million in 2015, excluding. what is the weighted average discount rate for u.s pension plans in 2015? 4.3 what was the number in 2014? 3.95 what is the difference?

(14) financial instruments we are exposed to capital market risk, such as changes in interest rates. in an effort to manage interest rate risk, we may enter into interest rate hedging arrangements from time to time. we do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. in november 2007, we entered into forward starting interest swaps with notional amounts appropriate to hedge interest rates on $300.0 million of anticipated debt offerings in 2009. the forward starting swaps were appropriately designated and tested for effectiveness as cash flow hedges. in march 2008, we settled the forward starting swaps and made a cash payment of $14.6 million to the counterparties. an effectiveness test was performed as of the settlement date and it was concluded that a highly effective cash flow hedge was still in place for the expected debt offering. of the amount paid in settlement, approximately $700000 was immediately reclassified to interest expense, as the result of partial ineffectiveness calculated at the settlement date. the net amount of $13.9 million was recorded in other comprehensive income (201coci 201d) and is being recognized through interest expense over the life of the hedged debt offering, which took place in may 2008. the remaining unamortized amount included as a reduction to accumulated oci as of december 31, 2009 is $9.3 million. in august 2005, we entered into $300.0 million of cash flow hedges through forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge interest rates on $300.0 million of anticipated debt offerings in 2007. the swaps qualified for hedge accounting, with any changes in fair value recorded in oci. in conjunction with the september 2007 issuance of $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes, we terminated these cash flow hedges as designated. the settlement amount received of $10.7 million is being recognized to earnings through a reduction of interest expense over the term of the hedged cash flows. the remaining unamortized amount included as an increase to accumulated oci as of december 31, 2009 is $8.2 million. the ineffective portion of the hedge was insignificant. the effectiveness of our hedges is evaluated throughout their lives using the hypothetical derivative method under which the change in fair value of the actual swap designated as the hedging instrument is compared to the change in fair value of a hypothetical swap. we had no material interest rate derivatives, when considering both fair value and notional amount, at december 31, 2009.. what is the net change of compensation cost recognized for rsus from 2008 to 2009? 2.4 what is the percent change?

the goldman sachs group, inc. and subsidiaries notes to consolidated financial statements in the tables above: 2030 the gross fair values exclude the effects of both counterparty netting and collateral netting, and therefore are not representative of the firm 2019s exposure. 2030 counterparty netting is reflected in each level to the extent that receivable and payable balances are netted within the same level and is included in counterparty netting in levels. where the counterparty netting is across levels, the netting is included in cross-level counterparty netting. 2030 derivative assets are shown as positive amounts and derivative liabilities are shown as negative amounts. significant unobservable inputs the table below presents the amount of level 3 assets (liabilities), and

shown as positive amounts and derivative liabilities are shown as negative amounts. 2030 ranges represent the significant unobservable inputs that were used in the valuation of each type of derivative. 2030 averages represent the arithmetic average of the inputs and are not weighted by the relative fair value or notional of the respective financial instruments. an average greater than the median indicates that the majority of inputs are below the average. for example, the difference between the average and the median for credit spreads and oil spread inputs indicates that the majority of the inputs fall in the lower end of the range. 2030 the ranges, averages and medians of these inputs are not representative of the appropriate inputs to use when calculating the fair value of any one derivative. for example, the highest correlation for interest rate derivatives is appropriate for valuing a specific interest rate derivative but may not be appropriate for valuing any other interest rate derivative. accordingly, the ranges of inputs do not represent uncertainty in, or possible ranges of, fair value measurements of the firm 2019s level 3 derivatives. 2030 interest rates, currencies and equities derivatives are valued using option pricing models, credit derivatives are valued using option pricing, correlation and discounted cash flow models, and commodities derivatives are valued using option pricing and discounted cash flow models. 2030 the fair value of any one instrument may be determined using multiple valuation techniques. for example, option pricing models and discounted cash flows models are typically used together to determine fair value. therefore, the level 3 balance encompasses both of these techniques. 2030 correlation within currencies and equities includes cross- product type correlation. 2030 natural gas spread represents the spread per million british thermal units of natural gas. 2030 oil spread represents the spread per barrel of oil and refined products. range of significant unobservable inputs the following is information about the ranges of significant unobservable inputs used to value the firm 2019s level 3 derivative instruments: 2030 correlation. ranges for correlation cover a variety of underliers both within one product type (e.g., equity index and equity single stock names) and across product types (e.g., correlation of an interest rate and a currency), as well as across regions. generally, cross-product type correlation inputs are used to value more complex instruments and are lower than correlation inputs on assets within the same derivative product type. 2030 volatility. ranges for volatility cover numerous underliers across a variety of markets, maturities and strike prices. for example, volatility of equity indices is generally lower than volatility of single stocks. 2030 credit spreads, upfront credit points and recovery rates. the ranges for credit spreads, upfront credit points and recovery rates cover a variety of underliers (index and single names), regions, sectors, maturities and credit qualities (high-yield and investment-grade). the broad range of this population gives rise to the width of the ranges of significant unobservable inputs. 130 goldman sachs 2017 form 10-k. what was the value of credit net in 2017? 1505.0 what was it in 2016? 2504.0 what

backlog backlog decreased in 2015 compared to 2014 primarily due to sales being recognized on several multi-year programs (such as hmsc, nisc iii, ciog and nsf asc) related to prior year awards and a limited number of large new business awards. backlog decreased in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to lower customer funding levels and declining activities on direct warfighter support programs impacted by defense budget reductions. trends we expect is&gs 2019 2016 net sales to decline in the high-single digit percentage range as compared to 2015, primarily driven by key loss contracts in an increasingly competitive environment, along with volume contraction on the segment 2019s major contracts. operating profit is expected to decline at a higher percentage range in 2016, as compared to net sales percentage declines, driven by higher margin program losses and re-compete programs awarded at lower margins. accordingly, 2016 margins are expected to be lower than 2015 results. missiles and fire control our mfc business segment provides air and missile defense systems; tactical missiles and air-to-ground precision strike weapon systems; logistics; fire control systems; mission operations support, readiness, engineering support and integration services; manned and unmanned ground vehicles; and energy management solutions. mfc 2019s major programs include pac-3, thaad, multiple launch rocket system, hellfire, jassm, javelin, apache, sniper ae, low altitude navigation and targeting infrared for night (lantirn ae) and sof clss. mfc 2019s operating results included the following (in millions):. - | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 net sales | $6770 | $7092 | $6795 operating profit | 1282 | 1344 | 1379 operating margins | 18.9% (18.9%) | 19.0% (19.0%) | 20.3% (20.3%) backlog at year-end | $15500 | $13300 | $14300 2015 compared to 2014 mfc 2019s net sales in 2015 decreased $322 million, or 5% (5%), compared to the same period in 2014. the decrease was attributable to lower net sales of approximately $345 million for air and missile defense programs due to fewer deliveries (primarily pac-3) and lower volume (primarily thaad); and approximately $85 million for tactical missile programs due to fewer deliveries (primarily guided multiple launch rocket system (gmlrs)) and joint air-to-surface standoff missile, partially offset by increased deliveries for hellfire. these decreases were partially offset by higher net sales of approximately $55 million for energy solutions programs due to increased volume. mfc 2019s operating profit in 2015 decreased $62 million, or 5% (5%), compared to 2014. the decrease was attributable to lower operating profit of approximately $100 million for fire control programs due primarily to lower risk retirements (primarily lantirn and sniper); and approximately $65 million for tactical missile programs due to lower risk retirements (primarily hellfire and gmlrs) and fewer deliveries. these decreases were partially offset by higher operating profit of approximately $75 million for air and missile defense programs due to increased risk retirements (primarily thaad). adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters, were approximately $60 million lower in 2015 compared to 2014. 2014 compared to 2013 mfc 2019s net sales increased $297 million, or 4% (4%), in 2014 as compared to 2013. the increase was primarily attributable to higher net sales of approximately $180 million for air and missile defense programs primarily due to increased volume for thaad; about $115 million for fire control programs due to increased deliveries (including apache); and about $125 million for various other programs due to increased volume. these increases were partially offset by lower net sales of approximately $115 million for tactical missile programs due to fewer deliveries (primarily high mobility artillery rocket system and army tactical missile system). mfc 2019s operating profit decreased $35 million, or 3% (3%), in 2014 as compared to 2013. the decrease was primarily attributable to lower operating profit of about $20 million for tactical missile programs due to net warranty reserve adjustments for various programs (including jassm and gmlrs) and fewer deliveries; and approximately $45 million for various other programs due to lower risk retirements. the decreases were offset by higher operating profit of approximately $20 million for air and missile defense programs due to increased volume (primarily thaad and pac-3); and about. what is the sum of the average backlog at year-end in 2014 and 2015? 28800.0 what is the sum including the 2013 value?

amortized over a nine-year period beginning december 2015. see note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the business combination and customer credits. the volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of more favorable weather during the unbilled period and an increase in industrial usage, partially offset by the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales. the increase in industrial usage is primarily due to expansion projects, primarily in the chemicals industry, and increased demand from new customers, primarily in the industrial gases industry. the louisiana act 55 financing savings obligation variance results from a regulatory charge for tax savings to be shared with customers per an agreement approved by the lpsc. the tax savings resulted from the 2010-2011 irs audit settlement on the treatment of the louisiana act 55 financing of storm costs for hurricane gustav and hurricane ike. see note 3 to the financial statements for additional discussion of the settlement and benefit sharing. included in other is a provision of $23 million recorded in 2016 related to the settlement of the waterford 3 replacement steam generator prudence review proceeding, offset by a provision of $32 million recorded in 2015 related to the uncertainty at that time associated with the resolution of the waterford 3 replacement steam generator prudence review proceeding. a0 see note 2 to the financial statements for a discussion of the waterford 3 replacement steam generator prudence review proceeding. entergy wholesale commodities following is an analysis of the change in net revenue comparing 2016 to 2015. amount (in millions). - | amount (in millions) 2015 net revenue | $1666 nuclear realized price changes | -149 (149) rhode island state energy center | -44 (44) nuclear volume | -36 (36) fitzpatrick reimbursement agreement | 41 nuclear fuel expenses | 68 other | -4 (4) 2016 net revenue | $1542 as shown in the table above, net revenue for entergy wholesale commodities decreased by approximately $124 million in 2016 primarily due to: 2022 lower realized wholesale energy prices and lower capacity prices, the amortization of the palisades below- market ppa, and vermont yankee capacity revenue. the effect of the amortization of the palisades below- market ppa and vermont yankee capacity revenue on the net revenue variance from 2015 to 2016 is minimal; 2022 the sale of the rhode island state energy center in december 2015. see note 14 to the financial statements for further discussion of the rhode island state energy center sale; and 2022 lower volume in the entergy wholesale commodities nuclear fleet resulting from more refueling outage days in 2016 as compared to 2015 and larger exercise of resupply options in 2016 as compared to 2015. see 201cnuclear matters - indian point 201d below for discussion of the extended indian point 2 outage in the second quarter entergy corporation and subsidiaries management 2019s financial discussion and analysis. what was the difference in net revenue between 2015 and 2016? 124.0 and the specific value for 2016 again?

settlements, and the expiration of statutes of limi- tation, the company currently estimates that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up to $365 million during the next twelve months, with no significant impact on earnings or cash tax payments. while the company believes that it is adequately accrued for possible audit adjust- ments, the final resolution of these examinations cannot be determined at this time and could result in final settlements that differ from current estimates. the company recorded an income tax provision for 2007 of $415 million, including a $41 million benefit related to the effective settlement of tax audits, and $8 million of other tax benefits. excluding the impact of special items, the tax provision was $423 million, or 30% (30%) of pre-tax earnings before minority interest. the company recorded an income tax provision for 2006 of $1.9 billion, consisting of a $1.6 billion deferred tax provision (principally reflecting deferred taxes on the 2006 transformation plan forestland sales) and a $300 million current tax provision. the provision also includes an $11 million provision related to a special tax adjustment. excluding the impact of special items, the tax provision was $272 million, or 29% (29%) of pre-tax earnings before minority interest. the company recorded an income tax benefit for 2005 of $407 million, including a $454 million net tax benefit related to a special tax adjustment, consisting of a tax benefit of $627 million resulting from an agreement reached with the u.s. internal revenue service concerning the 1997 through 2000 u.s. federal income tax audit, a $142 million charge for deferred taxes related to earnings repatriations under the american jobs creation act of 2004, and $31 million of other tax charges. excluding the impact of special items, the tax provision was $83 million, or 20% (20%) of pre-tax earnings before minority interest. international paper has non-u.s. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $352 million that expire as follows: 2008 through 2017 2014 $14 million and indefinite carryforwards of $338 million. interna- tional paper has tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards for state taxing jurisdictions of approximately $258 million that expire as follows: 2008 through 2017 2014$83 million and 2018 through 2027 2014$175 million. international paper also has federal, non-u.s. and state tax credit carryforwards that expire as follows: 2008 through 2017 2014 $67 million, 2018 through 2027 2014 $92 million, and indefinite carryforwards 2014 $316 million. further, international paper has state capital loss carryfor- wards that expire as follows: 2008 through 2017 2014 $9 million. deferred income taxes are not provided for tempo- rary differences of approximately $3.7 billion, $2.7 billion and $2.4 billion as of december 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, representing earnings of non-u.s. subsidiaries intended to be permanently reinvested. computation of the potential deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings and other basis differences is not practicable. note 10 commitments and contingent liabilities certain property, machinery and equipment are leased under cancelable and non-cancelable agree- ments. unconditional purchase obligations have been entered into in the ordinary course of business, prin- cipally for capital projects and the purchase of cer- tain pulpwood, wood chips, raw materials, energy and services, including fiber supply agreements to purchase pulpwood that were entered into con- currently with the 2006 transformation plan forest- land sales (see note 7). at december 31, 2007, total future minimum commitments under existing non-cancelable operat- ing leases and purchase obligations were as follows: in millions 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 thereafter. in millions | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | thereafter lease obligations | $136 | $116 | $101 | $84 | $67 | $92 purchase obligations (a) | 1953 | 294 | 261 | 235 | 212 | 1480 total | $2089 | $410 | $362 | $319 | $279 | $1572 (a) includes $2.1 billion relating to fiber supply agreements entered into at the time of the transformation plan forestland sales. rent expense was $168 million, $217 million and $216 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. international paper entered into an agreement in 2000 to guarantee, for a fee, an unsecured con- tractual credit agreement between a financial institution and an unrelated third-party customer. in the fourth quarter of 2006, the customer cancelled the agreement and paid the company a fee of $11 million, which is included in cost of products sold in the accompanying consolidated statement of oper- ations. the company has no future obligations under this agreement.. as of december 31, 2007, what was the amount of the purchase obligations due in 2008?

inventory on hand, as well as our future purchase commitments with our suppliers, considering multiple factors, including demand forecasts, product life cycle, current sales levels, pricing strategy and cost trends. if our review indicates that inventories of raw materials, components or finished products have become obsolete or are in excess of anticipated demand or that inventory cost exceeds net realizable value, we may be required to make adjustments that will impact the results of operations. goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets valuation - we test goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently if events occur that would warrant such review. while the company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment for both goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets to determine if it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, the company elects to perform the quantitative assessment for our annual impairment analysis. the impairment analysis involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit or non-amortizable intangible asset to the carrying value. if the carrying value exceeds the fair value, goodwill or a non-amortizable intangible asset is considered impaired. to determine the fair value of goodwill, we primarily use a discounted cash flow model, supported by the market approach using earnings multiples of comparable global and local companies within the tobacco industry. at december 31, 2018, the carrying value of our goodwill was $7.2 billion, which is related to ten reporting units, each of which consists of a group of markets with similar economic characteristics. the estimated fair value of each of our ten reporting units exceeded the carrying value as of december 31, 2018. to determine the fair value of non-amortizable intangible assets, we primarily use a discounted cash flow model applying the relief-from-royalty method. we concluded that the fair value of our non- amortizable intangible assets exceeded the carrying value. these discounted cash flow models include management assumptions relevant for forecasting operating cash flows, which are subject to changes in business conditions, such as volumes and prices, costs to produce, discount rates and estimated capital needs. management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values are estimated, and we believe these assumptions are consistent with the assumptions a hypothetical marketplace participant would use. since the march 28, 2008, spin-off from altria group, inc., we have not recorded a charge to earnings for an impairment of goodwill or non-amortizable intangible assets. marketing costs - we incur certain costs to support our products through programs that include advertising, marketing, consumer engagement and trade promotions. the costs of our advertising and marketing programs are expensed in accordance with u.s. gaap. recognition of the cost related to our consumer engagement and trade promotion programs contain uncertainties due to the judgment required in estimating the potential performance and compliance for each program. for volume-based incentives provided to customers, management continually assesses and estimates, by customer, the likelihood of the customer's achieving the specified targets, and records the reduction of revenue as the sales are made. for other trade promotions, management relies on estimated utilization rates that have been developed from historical experience. changes in the assumptions used in estimating the cost of any individual marketing program would not result in a material change in our financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows. employee benefit plans - as discussed in item 8, note 13. benefit plans to our consolidated financial statements, we provide a range of benefits to our employees and retired employees, including pensions, postretirement health care and postemployment benefits (primarily severance). we record annual amounts relating to these plans based on calculations specified by u.s. gaap. these calculations include various actuarial assumptions, such as discount rates, assumed rates of return on plan assets, compensation increases, mortality, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. we review actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. as permitted by u.s. gaap, any effect of the modifications is generally amortized over future periods. we believe that the assumptions utilized in calculating our obligations under these plans are reasonable based upon our historical experience and advice from our actuaries. weighted-average discount rate assumptions for pension and postretirement plan obligations at december 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:. - | 2018 | 2017 pension plans | 1.61% (1.61%) | 1.51% (1.51%) postretirement plans | 3.97% (3.97%) | 3.79% (3.79%) we anticipate that assumption changes will increase 2019 pre-tax pension and postretirement expense to approximately $205 million as compared with approximately $160 million in 2018, excluding amounts related to employee severance and early retirement programs. the anticipated increase is primarily due to higher amortization out of other comprehensive earnings for unrecognized actuarial gains/ losses of $14 million, coupled with lower return on assets of $16 million, higher interest and service cost of $12 million and $4 million respectively, partially offset by other movements of $1 million. weighted-average expected rate of return and discount rate assumptions have a significant effect on the amount of expense reported for the employee benefit plans. a fifty-basis-point decrease in our discount rate would increase our 2019 pension and postretirement expense by approximately $50 million, and a fifty-basis-point increase in our discount rate would decrease our 2019 pension and postretirement. what is the pre-tax pension and postretirement expense in 2019? 205.0 and what is it in 2018? 160.0 what is, then, the change over the year? 45.0 what is the pre-tax pension and postretirement expense in 2018?
