Bakgrund och problembeskrivning: Goodwill och värdering av goodwill är något som diskuterats under lång tid. Bakomliggande orsaker till goodwill är bland annat humankapital, höga kassaflöden inom de närmaste åren, synergieffekter och fördelaktiga marknadspositioner. Frågorna kring goodwill är många. Samtidigt finner vi att det är för lite fokus på vad företagen säger om goodwill i sina årsredovisningar och vi vill försöka ge en tydligare bild av goodwill med årsredovisningarna som utgångspunkt. Våra två huvudfrågor blir därför:? Hur ser värdet av goodwill ut i relation till redovisat eget kapital och tillgångar i de börsnoterade bolagens koncerner för verksamhetsåret 2009?? Kan vi jämföra goodwill mellan företag?Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att skapa en ökad förståelse kring goodwillens innebörd och storlek samt ett försök att klarlägga om informationen som ges i publicerade årsredovisningar är tillräcklig för att skapa en rättvisande/korrekt bild av företags finansiella ställning.Avgränsningar: Vi har begränsat undersökningen till företag noterade på OMX Stockholm Large Cap, där vi undersöker industri- och sjukvårdsbranscherna.

AbstractThis report intends through a case study to investigate if lightweight concrete isappropriate as main material in the outer wall of a seven storey residential building.A technical design is carried out in accordance with the definitions and requirementsfor passive houses, given by FEBY?s1 ?Demand specification for passive houses?.A literature review is also carried out for a comparison between regular bolt wall andlight weight concrete wall, with a focus on the safety of moisture.The lightweight concrete block used in the report is as a celblock produced by thecompany H+H Sweden AB.The methods used have resulted in compliance with requirements andrecommendations from authorities. Calculations of energy, noise and moisture riskassessment has been carried out.The work has resulted in the conclusion that the lightweight concrete itself is notable to isolate in the extent necessary to obtain chosen U-value of 0,1 W/m2 ° C,without getting to thick.
