C What is the ratio of Goodwill to Total Assets (Goodwill /Total Assets)?
11.51%

D In your opinion why is the ratio of Goodwill to Total Assets significant or insignificant? Increases in the goodwill-to-assets ratio might suggest that a company has been aggressively acquiring other firms or has seen its tangible assets decrease in value. When a large portion of total assets are attributable to intangible assets (such as goodwill), the company may be at risk of having that portion of its asset base wiped out quickly if it must record any goodwill impairment. Decreases in the goodwill-to-assets ratio suggest that the company has either written down some goodwill or increased its tangible assets
