expropriation

Examples of expropriation in the following topics:

• Tariffs, expropriation, and the technological environment

  • All multinational firms face the risk of expropriation.
  • However, in many expropriations there has been payment, and it is often equitable.
  • Because of the risk of expropriation, multinational firms are at the mercy of foreign governments, which are sometimes unstable, and which can change the laws they enforce at any point in time to meet their needs.

• Extraordinary Gains and Losses

  • Extraordinary items are both unusual (abnormal) and infrequent, for example, unexpected natural disaster, expropriation, prohibitions under new regulations.
  • Examples of extraordinary items are casualty losses, losses from expropriation of assets by a foreign government, gain on life insurance, gain or loss on the early extinguishment of debt, gain on troubled debt restructuring, and write-off of an intangible asset.
  • Write down and write off of receivables and inventory are not extraordinary, because they relate to normal business operational activities.They would be considered extraordinary, however, if they resulted from an Act of God (e.g., casualty loss arising from an earthquake) or governmental expropriation.
