ratiosfor Balfour was negative, sector 18.74% and for market 5.30% which is very volatile
and difficult to predict as well as true comparable companies and market value might not
be correct. Therefore, it is not helpful for potential investors. Fourth valuation model is:
Discount Cash Flow (DCF) which is used for cash-generating businesses according to the
present value of expected cash flow on the asset. But, it might cause market inefficiency
because it needs accurate price of asset based on it is life, cash flow, and discount rate for
the same. Although, the above models have some advantages but, the SVAis more
appropriate for potential investors.

A.B 458 was presented by Jason Mills, representing the Nevada Justice Association. The purpose of this bill is to provide additional protections to injured individuals receiving workers compensation. For example, section 3 of the bill states that an individual is entitled to an independent medical examination for a workers compensation claim “that is open or when the closure of a claim is under dispute”. Additionally, Mills stated that section 3 of the bill would provide a second opinion to the injured employee in the form of an independent medical examination on a workers compensation case. Mills added that after speaking with insurers and the industry, he is willing to agree on an amendment in subsection 6 of section 3 of the bill. Since the insurer will have to pay for costs associated with an independent medical examination, Mills agreed with the insurers that they should have the right to see the results of the examination report. Furthermore, the bill would require insurers to provide at least three vocational rehabilitation counselors to the “injured employee or personal or legal representative of the injured employee.” This would give these individuals choices since they currently do not have

After subtracting all economic costs from operating profits after taxes EVA reveals the true economic surplus available for further investment. Traditional cash flow analysis can easily disregard companies with negative cash flows because main purpose of traditional cash value metric is to control cash generation. In contrast, the main purpose of EVA is to optimize resource allocation. At difference to accounting measures, EVA highlights the gap in performance, and hence, aligns the interests of managers and shareholders. The link between shareholders value and economic profit of the company becomes more transparent. At difference to traditional accounting measures of corporate profit, EVA fully accounts for the company¡¦s overall capital costs. It includes both, the direct cost of debt capital and the indirect cost of equity capital. The cost of capital is the minimum return required to pay shareholder¡¦s equity . EVA can therefore determine whether or not the business is creating value but it can also indicate how much value is created at different business levels.
