The answer may require mathematical calculation based on the data provided.\n\nin emerging markets , such as ghana , india , nigeria and uganda , wireless networks tend to be significantly less advanced than those in the united states , and initial voice networks continue to be deployed in underdeveloped areas . a majority of consumers in these markets still utilize basic wireless services , predominantly on feature phones , while advanced device penetration remains low . in more developed urban locations within these markets , early-stage data network deployments are underway . carriers are focused on completing voice network build-outs while also investing in initial data networks as wireless data usage and smartphone penetration within their customer bases begin to accelerate . in markets with rapidly evolving network technology , such as south africa and most of the countries in latin america where we do business , initial voice networks , for the most part , have already been built out , and carriers are focused on 3g and 4g network build outs . consumers in these regions are increasingly adopting smartphones and other advanced devices , and , as a result , the usage of bandwidth-intensive mobile applications is growing materially . recent spectrum auctions in these rapidly evolving markets have allowed incumbent carriers to accelerate their data network deployments and have also enabled new entrants to begin initial investments in data networks . smartphone penetration and wireless data usage in these markets are growing rapidly , which typically requires that carriers continue to invest in their networks in order to maintain and augment their quality of service . finally , in markets with more mature network technology , such as germany and france , carriers are focused on deploying 4g data networks to account for rapidly increasing wireless data usage among their customer base . with higher smartphone and advanced device penetration and significantly higher per capita data usage , carrier investment in networks is focused on 4g coverage and capacity . we believe that the network technology migration we have seen in the united states , which has led to significantly denser networks and meaningful new business commencements for us over a number of years , will ultimately be replicated in our less advanced international markets . as a result , we expect to be able to leverage our extensive international portfolio of approximately 104470 communications sites and the relationships we have built with our carrier customers to drive sustainable , long-term growth . we have master lease agreements with certain of our tenants that provide for consistent , long-term revenue and reduce the likelihood of churn . our master lease agreements build and augment strong strategic partnerships with our tenants and have significantly reduced colocation cycle times , thereby providing our tenants with the ability to rapidly and efficiently deploy equipment on our sites . property operations new site revenue growth . during the year ended december 31 , 2016 , we grew our portfolio of communications real estate through the acquisition and construction of approximately 45310 sites . in a majority of our asia , emea and latin america markets , the revenue generated from newly acquired or constructed sites resulted in increases in both tenant and pass-through revenues ( such as ground rent or power and fuel costs ) and expenses . we continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire communications real estate portfolios , both domestically and internationally , to determine whether they meet our risk-adjusted hurdle rates and whether we believe we can effectively integrate them into our existing portfolio. . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>new sites ( acquired or constructed )</td><td>2016</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>u.s

america</td><td>715</td><td>6535</td><td>5800</td></tr></table> property operations expenses . direct operating expenses incurred by our property segments include direct site level expenses and consist primarily of ground rent and power and fuel costs , some or all of which may be passed through to our tenants , as well as property taxes , repairs and maintenance . these segment direct operating expenses exclude all segment and corporate selling , general , administrative and development expenses , which are aggregated into one line item entitled selling , general , administrative and development expense in our consolidated statements of operations . in general , our property segments 2019 selling , general , administrative and development expenses do not significantly increase as a result of adding incremental tenants to our sites and typically increase only modestly year-over-year . as a result , leasing additional space to new tenants on our sites provides significant incremental cash flow . we may , however , incur additional segment selling , general , administrative and development expenses as we increase our presence in our existing markets or expand into new markets . our profit margin growth is therefore positively impacted by the addition of new tenants to our sites but can be temporarily diluted by our development activities. .\nQuestion: what is the sum of new sites acquired and constructed during 2016 in us and asia?\n"

team have multiple years of industry experience , having worked for large , international oil and gas companies before joining nsai . the senior technical advisor has over 35 years of practical experience in petroleum geosciences , with over 15 years experience in the estimation and evaluation of reserves . the second team member has over 10 years of practical experience in petroleum engineering , with 5 years experience in the estimation and evaluation of reserves . both are registered professional engineers in the state of texas . ryder scott company ( \"ryder scott\" ) also

drilling . transfers from proved undeveloped to proved developed reserves included 67 mmboe in the eagle ford , 26 mmboe in the bakken and 1 mmboe in the oklahoma resource basins due to development drilling and completions . costs incurred in 2014 , 2013 and 2012 relating to the development of proved undeveloped reserves , were $ 3149 million , $ 2536 million and $ 1995 million . a total of 102 mmboe was booked as extensions , discoveries or other additions due to the application of reliable technology . technologies included statistical analysis of production performance , decline curve analysis , pressure and rate transient analysis , reservoir simulation and volumetric analysis . the statistical nature of production performance coupled with highly certain reservoir continuity or quality within the reliable technology areas and sufficient proved undeveloped locations establish the reasonable certainty criteria required for booking proved reserves . projects can remain in proved undeveloped reserves for extended periods in certain situations such as large development projects which take more than five years to complete , or the timing of when additional gas compression is needed . of the 728 mmboe of proved undeveloped reserves at december 31 , 2014 , 19 percent of the volume is associated with projects that have been included in proved reserves for more than five years . the majority of this volume is related to a compression project in e.g . that was sanctioned by our board of directors in 2004 . the timing of the installation of compression is being driven by the reservoir performance with this project intended to maintain maximum production levels . performance of this field since the board sanctioned the project has far exceeded expectations . estimates of initial dry gas in place increased by roughly 10 percent between 2004 and 2010 . during 2012 , the compression project received the approval of the e.g . government , allowing design and planning work to progress towards implementation , with completion expected by mid-2016 . the other component of alba proved undeveloped reserves is an infill well approved in 2013 and to be drilled in the second quarter of 2015 . proved undeveloped reserves for the north gialo development , located in the libyan sahara desert , were booked for the first time in 2010 . this development , which is anticipated to take more than five years to develop , is executed by the operator and encompasses a multi-year drilling program including the design , fabrication and installation of extensive liquid handling and gas recycling facilities . anecdotal evidence from similar development projects in the region lead to an expected project execution time frame of more than five years from the time the reserves were initially booked . interruptions associated with the civil unrest in 2011 and third-party labor strikes and civil unrest in 2013-2014 have also extended the project duration . as of december 31 , 2014 , future development costs estimated to be required for the development of proved undeveloped crude oil and condensate , ngls , natural gas and synthetic crude oil reserves related to continuing operations for the years 2015 through 2019 are projected to be $ 2915 million , $ 2598 million , $ 2493 million , $ 2669 million and $ 2745 million. .\nQuestion: what were costs incurred

rebates , and discounts to actual results were approximately 1 percent of consolidated net sales for each of the years presented . product litigation liabilities and other contingencies background and uncertainties product litigation liabilities and other contingencies are , by their nature , uncertain and based upon complex judgments and probabilities . the factors we consider in developing our product litigation liability reserves and other contingent liability amounts include the merits and jurisdiction of the litigation , the nature and the number of other similar current and past matters , the nature of the product and the current assessment of the science subject to the litigation , and the likelihood of settlement and current state of settlement discussions , if any . in addition , we accrue for certain product liability claims incurred , but not filed , to the extent we can formulate a reasonable estimate of their costs based primarily on historical claims experience and data regarding product usage . we accrue legal defense costs expected to be incurred in connection with significant product liability contingencies when both probable and reasonably estimable . we also consider the insurance coverage we have to diminish the exposure for periods covered by insurance . in assessing our insurance coverage , we consider the policy coverage limits and exclusions , the potential for denial of coverage by the insurance company , the financial condition of the insurers , and the possibility of and length of time for collection . due to a very restrictive market for product liability insurance , we are self-insured for product liability losses for all our currently marketed products . in addition to insurance coverage , we also consider any third-party indemnification to which we are entitled or under which we are obligated . with respect to our third-party indemnification rights , these considerations include the nature of the indemnification , the financial condition of the indemnifying party , and the possibility of and length of time for collection . the litigation accruals and environmental liabilities and the related estimated insurance recoverables have been reflected on a gross basis as liabilities and assets , respectively , on our consolidated balance sheets . impairment of indefinite-lived and long-lived assets background and uncertainties we review the carrying value of long-lived assets ( both intangible and tangible ) for potential impairment on a periodic basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset ( or asset group ) may not be recoverable . we identify impairment by comparing the projected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset ( or asset group ) to its carrying value . if an impairment is identified , a loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset 2019s net book value over its fair value , and the cost basis is adjusted . goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually and when certain impairment indicators are present . when required , a comparison of fair value to the carrying amount of assets is performed to determine the amount of any impairment. .\nQuestion: what was the change in the total of u.s . pharmaceutical sales return, rebate, and discount liability balances, including

adjustment on an acquisition by our then joint venture in turkey and costs associated with the closure of our etienne mill in france in 2009 ) in 2011 . sales volumes in 2013 were higher than in 2012 reflecting strong demand for packaging in the agricultural markets in morocco and turkey . in europe , sales volumes decreased slightly due to continuing weak demand for packaging in the industrial markets , and lower demand for packaging in the agricultural markets resulting from poor weather conditions . average sales margins were significantly lower due to input costs for containerboard rising ahead of box sales price increases . other input costs were also higher , primarily for energy . operating profits in 2013 and 2012 included net gains of $ 13 million and $ 10 million , respectively , for insurance settlements and italian government grants , partially offset by additional operating costs , related to the earthquakes in northern italy in may 2012 which affected our san felice box plant . entering the first quarter of 2014 , sales volumes are expected to increase slightly reflecting higher demand for packaging in the industrial markets . average sales margins are expected to gradually improve as a result of slight reductions in material costs and planned box price increases . other input costs should be about flat . brazilian industrial packaging includes the results of orsa international paper embalagens s.a. , a corrugated packaging producer in which international paper acquired a 75% ( 75 % ) share in january 2013 . net sales were $ 335 million in 2013 . operating profits in 2013 were a loss of $ 2 million ( a gain of $ 2 million excluding acquisition and integration costs ) . looking ahead to the first quarter of 2014 , sales volumes are expected to be seasonally lower than in the fourth quarter of 2013 . average sales margins should improve reflecting the partial implementation of an announced sales price increase and a more favorable product mix . operating costs and input costs are expected to be lower . asian industrial packaging net sales were $ 400 million in 2013 compared with $ 400 million in 2012 and $ 410 million in 2011 . operating profits for the packaging operations were a loss of $ 5 million in 2013 ( a loss of $ 1 million excluding restructuring costs ) compared with gains of $ 2 million in 2012 and $ 2 million in 2011 . operating profits were favorably impacted in 2013 by higher average sales margins and slightly higher sales volumes compared with 2012 , but these benefits were offset by higher operating costs . looking ahead to the first quarter of 2014 , sales volumes and average sales margins are expected to be seasonally soft . net sales for the distribution operations were $ 285 million in 2013 compared with $ 260 million in 2012 and $ 285 million in 2011 . operating profits were $ 3 million in 2013 , 2012 and 2011 . printing papers demand for printing papers products is closely correlated with changes in commercial printing and advertising activity , direct mail volumes and , for uncoated cut-size products , with changes in white- collar employment levels that affect the usage of copy and laser printer paper . pulp is further affected by changes in currency rates that can enhance or disadvantage producers in different geographic regions . principal cost drivers include manufacturing efficiency , raw material and energy costs and freight costs . printing papers net sales for 2013 were about flat with both 2012 and 2011 . operating profits in 2013 were 55% ( 55 % ) lower than in 2012 and 69% ( 69 % ) lower than in 2011 . excluding facility closure costs and impairment costs , operating profits in 2013 were 15% ( 15 % ) lower than in 2012 and 40% ( 40 % ) lower than in 2011 . benefits from lower operating costs ( $ 81 million ) and lower maintenance outage costs ( $ 17 million ) were more than offset by lower average sales price realizations ( $ 38 million ) , lower sales volumes ( $ 14 million ) , higher input costs ( $ 99 million ) and higher other costs ( $ 34 million ) . in addition , operating profits in 2013 included costs of $ 118 million associated with the announced closure of our courtland , alabama mill . during 2013 , the company accelerated depreciation for certain courtland assets , and diligently evaluated certain other assets for possible alternative uses by one of our other businesses . the net book value of these assets at december 31 , 2013 was approximately $ 470 million . during 2014 , we have continued our evaluation and expect to conclude as to any uses for these assets during the first quarter of 2014 . operating profits also included a $ 123 million impairment charge associated with goodwill and a trade name intangible asset in our india papers business . operating profits in 2011 included a $ 24 million gain related to the announced repurposing of our franklin , virginia mill to produce fluff pulp and an

remediation is difficult to determine because of the number of potentially responsible parties involved , site- specific cost sharing arrangements with other potentially responsible parties , the degree of contamination by various wastes , the scarcity and quality of volumetric data related to many of the sites , and the speculative nature of remediation costs . current obligations are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations , financial condition , or liquidity . personal injury 2013 the cost of personal injuries to employees and others related to our activities is charged to expense based on estimates of the ultimate cost and number of incidents each year . we use third-party actuaries to assist us with measuring the expense and liability , including unasserted claims . the federal employers 2019 liability act ( fela ) governs compensation for work-related accidents . under fela , damages are assessed based on a finding of fault through litigation or out-of-court settlements . we offer a comprehensive variety of services and rehabilitation programs for employees who are injured at work . annual expenses for personal

railroad industry is capital intensive . properties are carried at cost . provisions for depreciation are computed principally on the straight-line method based on estimated service lives of depreciable property . the lives are calculated using a separate composite annual percentage rate for each depreciable property group , based on the results of internal depreciation studies . we are required to submit a report on depreciation studies and proposed depreciation rates to the stb for review and approval every three years for equipment property and every six years for road property . the cost ( net of salvage ) of depreciable railroad property retired or replaced in the ordinary course of business is charged to accumulated depreciation , and no gain or loss is recognized . a gain or loss is recognized in other income for all other property upon disposition because the gain or loss is not part of rail operations . the cost of internally developed software is capitalized and

december 31 , 2006 . for the year ended december 31 , 2006 , depreciation expense was $ 1.2 billion . we use various methods to estimate useful lives for each group of depreciable property . due to the capital intensive nature of the business and the large base of depreciable assets , variances to those estimates could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements . if the estimated useful lives of all depreciable assets were increased by one year , annual depreciation expense would decrease by approximately $ 43 million . if the estimated useful lives of all assets to be depreciated were decreased by one year , annual depreciation expense would increase by approximately $ 45 million . income taxes 2013 as required under fasb statement no . 109 , accounting for

( see note 16 to the consolidated financial statements ) . excluding this portion of cash held outside the u.s . for acquisition-related purposes , approximately 50%-60% ( 50%-60 % ) of the remaining cash and cash equivalents are held by foreign subsidiaries throughout the year . the amount of cash held by our u.s . and foreign subsidiaries fluctuates throughout the year due to a variety of factors , including the timing of cash receipts and disbursements in the normal course of business . cash provided by operating activities in the united states continues to be our primary source of funds to finance domestic operating needs , capital expenditures , share repurchases and dividend payments to shareowners . to the extent that such amounts represent previously untaxed earnings , the cash held by foreign subsidiaries would be subject to tax if such amounts were repatriated in the form of dividends ; however , not all international cash balances would have to be repatriated in the form of a dividend if returned to the u.s . when amounts earned by foreign subsidiaries are expected to be indefinitely reinvested , no accrual for taxes is provided. .\nQuestion: what was the value of net cash from operating activities in 2012?\n"

such as commitments ( including revolving credit facilities ) and guarantees , to address the financing needs of its clients . the contractual amounts of these financial instruments represent the maximum possible credit risk should the clients draw down on these commitments or the firm fulfill its obligations under these guarantees , and the clients subsequently fail to perform according to the terms of these contracts . most of these commitments and guarantees are refinanced , extended , cancelled , or expire without being drawn upon or a default occurring . in the firm 2019s view , the total contractual amount of these wholesale lending-related commitments is not representative of the firm 2019s expected future credit exposure or funding requirements . for further information on wholesale lending-related commitments , refer to note 27 . clearing services the firm provides clearing services for clients entering into certain securities and derivative contracts . through the provision of these services the firm is exposed to the risk of non-performance by its clients and may be required to share in losses incurred by ccps . where possible , the firm seeks to mitigate its credit risk to its clients through the collection of adequate margin at inception and throughout the life of the transactions and can also cease provision of clearing services if clients do not adhere to their obligations under the clearing agreement . for further discussion of clearing services , refer to note 27 . derivative contracts derivatives enable clients and counterparties to manage risks including credit risk and risks arising from fluctuations in interest rates , foreign exchange , equities , and commodities . the firm makes markets in derivatives in order to meet these needs and uses derivatives to manage certain risks associated with net open risk positions from its market-making activities , including the counterparty credit risk arising from derivative receivables . the firm also uses derivative instruments to manage its own credit and other market risk exposure . the nature of the counterparty and the settlement mechanism of the derivative affect the credit risk to which the firm is exposed . for otc derivatives the firm is exposed to the credit risk of the derivative counterparty . for exchange-traded derivatives ( 201cetd 201d ) , such as futures and options , and 201ccleared 201d over-the-counter ( 201cotc-cleared 201d ) derivatives , the firm is generally exposed to the credit risk of the relevant ccp . where possible , the firm seeks to mitigate its credit risk exposures arising from derivative contracts through the use of legally enforceable master netting arrangements and collateral agreements . for a further discussion of derivative contracts

have not been either sought or obtained with respect to master netting agreements . the fair value of derivative receivables reported on the consolidated balance sheets were $ 54.2 billion and $ 56.5 billion at december 31 , 2018 and 2017 , respectively . derivative receivables represent the fair value of the derivative contracts after giving effect to legally enforceable master netting agreements and cash collateral held by the firm . however , in management 2019s view , the appropriate measure of current credit risk should also take into consideration additional liquid securities ( primarily u.s . government and agency securities and other group of seven nations ( 201cg7 201d ) government securities ) and other cash collateral held by the firm aggregating $ 15.3 billion and $ 16.1 billion at december 31 , 2018 and 2017 , respectively , that may be used as security when the fair value of the client 2019s exposure is in the firm 2019s favor . in addition to the collateral described in the preceding paragraph , the firm also holds additional collateral ( primarily cash , g7 government securities , other liquid government-agency and guaranteed securities , and corporate debt and equity securities ) delivered by clients at the initiation of transactions , as well as collateral related to contracts that have a non-daily call frequency and collateral that the firm has agreed to return but has not yet settled as of the reporting date . although this collateral does not reduce the balances and is not included in the table above , it is available as security against potential exposure that could arise should the fair value of the client 2019s derivative contracts move in the firm 2019s favor . the derivative receivables fair value , net of all collateral , also does not include other credit enhancements , such as letters of credit . for additional information on the firm 2019s use of collateral agreements , refer to note 5 . while useful as a current view of credit exposure , the net fair value of the derivative receivables does not capture the potential future variability of that credit exposure . to capture the potential future variability of credit exposure , the firm calculates , on a client-by-client basis , three measures of potential derivatives-related credit loss : peak , derivative risk equivalent ( 201cdre 201d ) , and average exposure ( 201cavg 201d ) . these measures all incorporate netting and collateral benefits , where applicable . peak represents a conservative measure of potential exposure to a counterparty calculated in a manner that is broadly equivalent to a 97.5% ( 97.5 % ) confidence level over the life of the transaction . peak is the primary measure used by the firm for setting of credit limits for derivative contracts , senior management reporting and derivatives exposure management . dre exposure is a measure that expresses the risk of derivative exposure on a basis intended to be .\nQuestion: in the 2018 review of

The answer may require mathematical calculation based on the data provided.\n\nfinancial statement impact we believe that our accruals for sales returns , rebates , and discounts are reasonable and appropriate based on current facts and circumstances . our global rebate and discount liabilities are included in sales rebates and discounts on our consolidated balance sheet . our global sales return liability is included in other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet . as of december 31 , 2018 , a 5 percent change in our global sales return , rebate , and discount liability would have led to an approximate $ 275 million effect on our income before income taxes . the portion of our global sales return , rebate , and discount liability resulting from sales of our products in the u.s . was approximately 90 percent as of december 31 , 2018 and december 31 , 2017 . the following represents a roll-forward of our most significant u.s .

rebates , and discounts to actual results were approximately 1 percent of consolidated net sales for each of the years presented . product litigation liabilities and other contingencies background and uncertainties product litigation liabilities and other contingencies are , by their nature , uncertain and based upon complex judgments and probabilities . the factors we consider in developing our product litigation liability reserves and other contingent liability amounts include the merits and jurisdiction of the litigation , the nature and the number of other similar current and past matters , the nature of the product and the current assessment of the science subject to the litigation , and the likelihood of settlement and current state of settlement discussions , if any . in addition , we accrue for certain product liability claims incurred , but not filed , to the extent we can formulate a reasonable estimate of their costs based primarily on historical claims experience and data regarding product usage . we accrue legal defense costs expected to be incurred in connection with significant product liability contingencies when both probable and reasonably estimable . we also consider the insurance coverage we have to diminish the exposure for periods covered by insurance . in assessing our insurance coverage , we consider the policy coverage limits and exclusions , the potential for denial of coverage by the insurance company , the financial condition of the insurers , and the possibility of and length of time for collection . due to a very restrictive market for product liability insurance , we are self-insured for product liability losses for all our currently marketed products . in addition to insurance coverage , we also consider any third-party indemnification to which we are entitled or under which we are obligated . with respect to our third-party indemnification rights , these considerations include the nature of the indemnification , the financial condition of the indemnifying party , and the possibility of and length of time for collection . the litigation accruals and environmental liabilities and the related estimated insurance recoverables have been reflected on a gross basis as liabilities and assets , respectively , on our consolidated balance sheets . impairment of indefinite-lived and long-lived assets background and uncertainties we review the carrying value of long-lived assets ( both intangible and tangible ) for potential impairment on a periodic basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset ( or asset group ) may not be recoverable . we identify impairment by comparing the projected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset ( or asset group ) to its carrying value . if an impairment is identified , a loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset 2019s net book value over its fair value , and the cost basis is adjusted . goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually and when certain impairment indicators are present . when required , a comparison of fair value to the carrying amount of assets is performed to determine the amount of any impairment. .\nQuestion: what was the change in the total of u.s . pharmaceutical sales return, rebate, and discount liability balances, including

issuance of $ 500 million , plus commercial paper issuances ( maturities greater than 90 days ) of approximately $ 1.25 billion . increases in long-term debt have been used , in part , to fund share repurchase activities . the company accelerated purchases of treasury stock when compared to prior years , buying back $ 3.2 billion in shares in 2007 . total debt was 30% ( 30 % ) of total capital (

behalf of and for the sole benefit of the selling stockholders in connection with the company's acquisition of assets of diamond productions , inc . the company intends to use the proceeds from future securities sales off this shelf for general corporate purposes . in connection with this shelf registration , in june 2007 the company established a medium-term notes program through which up to $ 3

prior-year level . the increase was primarily due to a shift in expenses : costs that were previously associated with compensation and other expenses shifted , upon the commence- ment of the ibm outsourcing agreement , to technology and communications expense . also contributing to the increase were higher costs related to software amortization . for a further dis- cussion of the ibm outsourcing agreement , see support units and corporate on page 44 of this annual report . other expense other expense in 2003 rose slightly from the prior year , reflecting higher outside services . for a table showing the components of other expense , see note 8 on page 96 of this annual report . surety settlement and litigation reserve the firm added $ 100 million to the enron-related litigation reserve in 2003 to supplement a $ 900 million reserve initially recorded in 2002 . the 2002 reserve was established to cover enron-related matters , as well as certain other material litigation , proceedings and investigations in which the firm is involved . in addition , in 2002 the firm recorded a charge of $ 400 million for the settlement of enron-related surety litigation . merger and restructuring costs merger and restructuring costs related to business restructurings announced after january 1 , 2002 , were recorded in their relevant expense categories . in 2002 ,

programs announced after january 1 , 2002 . provision for credit losses the 2003 provision for credit losses was $ 2.8 billion lower than in 2002 , primarily reflecting continued improvement in the quality of the commercial loan portfolio and a higher volume of credit card securitizations . for further information about the provision for credit losses and the firm 2019s management of credit risk

was principally attributable to changes in the proportion of income subject to state and local taxes . compensation expense compensation expense in 2003 was 6% ( 6 % ) higher than in the prior year . the increase principally reflected higher performance-related incentives , and higher pension and other postretirement benefit costs , primarily as a result of changes in actuarial assumptions . for a detailed discussion of pension and other postretirement benefit costs , see note 6 on pages 89 201393 of this annual report . the increase pertaining to incentives included $ 266 million as a result of adopting sfas 123 , and $ 120 million from the reversal in 2002 of previously accrued expenses for certain forfeitable key employ- ee stock awards , as discussed in note 7 on pages 93 201395 of this annual report . total compensation expense declined as a result of the transfer , beginning april 1 , 2003 , of 2800 employees to ibm in connection with a technology outsourcing agreement . the total number of full-time equivalent employees at december 31 , 2003 was 93453 compared with 94335 at the prior year-end . occupancy expense occupancy expense of $ 1.9 billion rose 19% ( 19 % ) from 2002 . the increase reflected costs of additional leased space in midtown manhattan and in the south and southwest regions of the united states ; higher real estate taxes in new york city ; and the cost of enhanced safety measures . also contributing to the increase were charges for unoccupied excess real estate of $ 270 million ; this compared with $ 120 million in 2002 , mostly in the third quarter of that year. .\nQuestion: what was the return on interest bearing assets in percentage, in 2003?\nAnswer: 2.1\nQuestion: and how much is that numerically?\nAnswer: 0.021\nQuestion: what was the pre-tax interest income in 2003?\nAnswer: 590.0\nQuestion: what is, then, the amount of this income that is represented by that return?\n"

and 2022 an increase to pretax income of $ 464 million ( $ 288 million after-tax ) related to valuations of nonpublic private equity investments . prior to the adoption of sfas 157 , the firm applied the provisions of eitf 02-3 to its derivative portfolio . eitf 02-3 precluded the recogni- tion of initial trading profit in the absence of : ( a ) quoted market prices , ( b ) observable prices of other current market transactions or ( c ) other observable data supporting a valuation technique . in accor- dance with eitf 02-3 , the firm recognized the deferred profit in principal transactions revenue on a systematic basis ( typically straight- line amortization over the life of the instruments ) and when observ- able market data became available . prior to the adoption of sfas 157 the firm did not incorporate an adjustment into the valuation of liabilities carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet . commencing january 1 , 2007 , in accor- dance with the requirements of sfas 157 , an adjustment was made to the valuation of liabilities measured at fair value to reflect the credit quality of the firm . prior to the adoption of sfas 157 , privately held investments were initially valued based upon cost . the carrying values of privately held investments were adjusted from cost to reflect both positive and neg- ative changes evidenced by financing events with third-party capital providers . the investments were also subject to ongoing impairment reviews by private equity senior investment professionals . the increase in pretax income related to nonpublic private equity investments in connection with the adoption of sfas 157 was due to there being sufficient market evidence to support an increase in fair values using the sfas 157 methodology , although there had not been an actual third-party market transaction related to such investments . financial disclosures required by sfas 107 sfas 107 requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments and the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate their fair values . many but not all of the financial instruments held by the firm are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets . financial instruments within the scope of sfas 107 that are not carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are discussed below . additionally , certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from the scope of sfas 107 . accordingly , the fair value disclosures required by sfas 107 provide only a partial estimate of the fair value of jpmorgan chase . for example , the firm has developed long-term relationships with its customers through its deposit base and credit card accounts , commonly referred to as core deposit intangibles and credit card relationships . in the opinion of management , these items , in the aggregate , add significant value to jpmorgan chase , but their fair value is not disclosed in this note . financial instruments for which fair value approximates carrying value certain financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are carried at amounts that approxi- mate fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligi- ble credit risk . these instruments include cash and due from banks , deposits with banks , federal funds sold , securities purchased under resale agreements with short-dated maturities , securities borrowed , short-term receivables and accrued interest receivable , commercial paper , federal funds purchased , securities sold under repurchase agreements with short-dated maturities , other borrowed funds , accounts payable and accrued liabilities . in addition , sfas 107 requires that the fair value for deposit liabilities with no stated matu- rity ( i.e. , demand , savings and certain money market deposits ) be equal to their carrying value . sfas 107 does not allow for the recog- nition of the inherent funding value of these instruments. .\nQuestion: what is the increase to pretax income of 2022 in million?\nAnswer: 166.0\nQuestion: and that in million after-tax?\nAnswer: 103.0\nQuestion: how much does that increase in million represents in relation to that in million after-tax?\nAnswer: 1.61165\nQuestion: what is the increase to pretax income of 2022 in million?\n"

excluded from the table above . the company estimates payments under such leases will approximate $ 62 million in 2018 . these vehicle leases have guaranteed residual values that have historically been satisfied by the proceeds on the sale of the vehicles . 14 . research and development expenditures research expenditures that relate to the development of new products and processes , including significant improvements and refinements to existing products , are expensed as incurred . such costs were $ 201 million in 2017 , $ 189 million in 2016 and $ 191 million in 2015 . the company did not participate in any material customer sponsored research during 2017 , 2016 or 2015 . 15 . commitments and contingencies the company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to , among other things , workers 2019 compensation , general liability ( including product liability ) , automobile claims , health care claims , environmental matters and lawsuits . the company is also subject to various claims and contingencies related to income taxes , which are discussed in note 12 . the company also has contractual obligations including lease commitments , which are discussed in note 13 . the company records liabilities where a contingent loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated . if the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range , the company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount . the company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable , or both , if there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred . insurance globally , the company has insurance policies with varying deductibility levels for property and casualty losses . the company is insured for losses in excess of these deductibles , subject to policy terms and conditions and has recorded both a liability and an offsetting receivable for amounts in excess of these deductibles . the company is self-insured for health care claims for eligible participating employees , subject to certain deductibles and limitations . the company determines its liabilities for claims on an actuarial basis . litigation and environmental matters the company and certain subsidiaries are party to various lawsuits , claims and environmental actions that have arisen in the ordinary course of business . these include from time to time antitrust , commercial , patent infringement , product liability and wage hour lawsuits , as well as possible obligations to investigate and mitigate the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain chemical substances at various sites , such as superfund sites and other operating or closed facilities . the company has established accruals for certain lawsuits , claims and environmental matters . the company currently believes that there is not a reasonably possible risk of material loss in excess of the amounts accrued related to these legal matters . because litigation is inherently uncertain , and unfavorable rulings or developments could occur , there can be no certainty that the company may not ultimately incur charges in excess of recorded liabilities . a future adverse ruling , settlement or unfavorable development could result in future charges that could have a material adverse effect on the company 2019s results of operations or cash flows in the period in which they are recorded . the company currently believes that such future charges related to suits and legal claims , if any , would not have a material adverse effect on the company 2019s consolidated financial position . environmental matters the company is currently participating in environmental assessments and remediation at approximately 45 locations , the majority of which are in the u.s. , and environmental liabilities have been accrued reflecting management 2019s best estimate of future costs . potential insurance reimbursements are not anticipated in the company 2019s accruals for environmental liabilities. .\nQuestion: what was

interest expense over the respective terms of the notes . in august 2010 , ppg entered into a three-year credit agreement with several banks and financial institutions ( the \"2010 credit agreement\" ) which was subsequently terminated in july 2012 . the 2010 credit agreement provided for a $ 1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility . in connection with entering into the 2010 credit agreement , the company terminated its 20ac650 million and its $ 1 billion revolving credit facilities that were each set to expire in 2011 . there were no outstanding amounts due under either revolving facility at the times of their termination . the 2010 credit agreement was set to terminate on august 5 , 2013 . ppg 2019s non-u.s . operations have uncommitted lines of credit totaling $ 705 million of which $ 34 million was used as of december 31 , 2012 . these uncommitted lines of credit are subject to cancellation at any time and are generally not subject to any commitment fees . short-term debt outstanding as of december 31 , 2012 and 2011 , was as follows: . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>( millions )</td><td>2012</td><td>2011</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>other

ppg is in compliance with the restrictive covenants under its various credit agreements , loan agreements and indentures . the company 2019s revolving credit agreements include a financial ratio covenant . the covenant requires that the amount of total indebtedness not exceed 60% ( 60 % ) of the company 2019s total capitalization excluding the portion of accumulated other comprehensive income ( loss ) related to pensions and other postretirement benefit adjustments . as of december 31 , 2012 , total indebtedness was 42% ( 42 % ) of the company 2019s total capitalization excluding the portion of accumulated other comprehensive income ( loss ) related to pensions and other postretirement benefit adjustments . additionally , substantially all of the company 2019s debt agreements contain customary cross- default provisions . those provisions generally provide that a default on a debt service payment of $ 10 million or more for longer than the grace period provided ( usually 10 days ) under one agreement may result in an event of default under other agreements . none of the company 2019s primary debt obligations are secured or guaranteed by the company 2019s affiliates . interest payments in 2012 , 2011 and 2010 totaled $ 219 million , $ 212 million and $ 189 million , respectively . in october 2009 , the company entered into an agreement with a counterparty to repurchase up to 1.2 million shares of the company 2019s stock of which 1.1 million shares were purchased in the open market ( 465006 of these shares were purchased as of december 31 , 2009 at a weighted average price of $ 56.66 per share ) . the counterparty held the shares until september of 2010 when the company paid $ 65 million and took possession of these shares . rental expense for operating leases was $ 233 million , $ 249 million and $ 233 million in 2012 , 2011 and 2010 , respectively . the primary leased assets include paint stores , transportation equipment , warehouses and other distribution facilities , and office space , including the company 2019s corporate headquarters located in pittsburgh , pa . minimum lease commitments for operating leases that have initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year as of december 31 , 2012 , are ( in millions ) $ 171 in 2013 , $ 135 in 2014 , $ 107 in 2015 , $ 83 in 2016 , $ 64 in 2017 and $ 135 thereafter . the company had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds of $ 119 million as of december 31 , 2012 . the letters of credit secure the company 2019s performance to third parties under certain self-insurance programs and other commitments made in the ordinary course of business . as of december 31 , 2012 and 2011 , guarantees outstanding were $ 96 million and $ 90 million , respectively . the guarantees relate primarily to debt of certain entities in which ppg has an ownership interest and selected customers of certain of the company 2019s businesses . a portion of such debt is secured by the assets of the related entities . the carrying values of these guarantees were $ 11 million and $ 13 million as of december 31 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively , and the fair values were $ 11 million and $ 21 million , as of december 31 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively . the fair value of each guarantee was estimated by comparing the net present value of two hypothetical cash flow streams , one based on ppg 2019s incremental borrowing rate and the other based on the borrower 2019s incremental borrowing rate , as of the effective date of the guarantee . both streams were discounted at a risk free rate of return . the company does not believe any loss related to these letters of credit , surety bonds or guarantees is likely . 9 . fair value measurement the accounting guidance on fair value measurements establishes a hierarchy with three levels of inputs used to determine fair value . level 1 inputs are quoted prices ( unadjusted ) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities , are considered to be the most reliable evidence of fair value , and should be used whenever available . level 2 inputs are observable prices that are not quoted on active exchanges . level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs employed for measuring the fair value of assets or liabilities . table of contents notes to the consolidated financial statements .\nQuestion: as of december 31, 2012, what was the remaining amount the company had in its restrictive covenant regarding debt to total capitalization?\nAnswer: 0.18\nQuestion: in this same year, what was the amount of the outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds, in millions?\nAnswer: 119.0\nQuestion: and what was that for the guarantees outstanding?\nAnswer: 96.0\nQuestion: what was, then, the full amount of

currency and commodities client execution were $ 9.91 billion for 2012 , 10% ( 10 % ) higher than 2011 . these results reflected strong net revenues in mortgages , which were significantly higher compared with 2011 . in addition , net revenues in credit products and interest rate products were solid and higher compared with 2011 . these increases were partially offset by significantly lower net revenues in commodities and slightly lower net revenues in currencies . although broad market concerns persisted during 2012 , fixed income , currency and commodities client execution operated in a generally improved environment characterized by tighter credit spreads and less challenging market-making conditions compared with 2011 . net revenues in equities were $ 8.21 billion for 2012 , essentially unchanged compared with 2011 . net revenues in securities services were significantly higher compared with 2011 , reflecting a gain of approximately $ 500 million on the sale of our hedge fund administration business . in addition , equities client execution net revenues were higher than 2011 , primarily reflecting significantly higher results in cash products , principally due to increased levels of client activity . these increases were offset by lower commissions and fees , reflecting lower market volumes . during 2012 , equities operated in an environment generally characterized by an increase in global equity prices and lower volatility levels . the net loss attributable to the impact of changes in our own credit spreads on borrowings for which the fair value option was elected was $ 714 million ( $ 433 million and $ 281 million related to fixed income , currency and commodities client execution and equities client execution , respectively ) for 2012 , compared with a net gain of $ 596 million ( $ 399 million and $ 197 million related to fixed income , currency and commodities client execution and equities client execution , respectively ) for 2011 . during 2012 , institutional client services operated in an environment generally characterized by continued broad market concerns and uncertainties , although positive developments helped to improve market conditions . these developments included certain central bank actions to ease monetary policy and address funding risks for european financial institutions . in addition , the u.s . economy posted stable to improving economic data , including favorable developments in unemployment and housing . these improvements resulted in tighter credit spreads , higher global equity prices and lower levels of volatility . however , concerns about the outlook for the global economy and continued political uncertainty , particularly the political debate in the united states surrounding the fiscal cliff , generally resulted in client risk aversion and lower activity levels . also , uncertainty over financial regulatory reform persisted . if these concerns and uncertainties continue over the long term , net revenues in fixed income , currency and commodities client execution and equities would likely be negatively impacted . operating expenses were $ 12.48 billion for 2012 , 3% ( 3 % ) lower than 2011 , primarily due to lower brokerage , clearing , exchange and distribution fees , and lower impairment charges , partially offset by higher net provisions for litigation and regulatory proceedings . pre-tax earnings were $ 5.64 billion in 2012 , 27% ( 27 % ) higher than 2011 . 2011 versus 2010 . net revenues in institutional client services were $ 17.28 billion for 2011 , 21% ( 21 % ) lower than 2010 . net revenues in fixed income , currency and commodities client execution were $ 9.02 billion for 2011 , 34% ( 34 % ) lower than 2010 . although activity levels during 2011 were generally consistent with 2010 levels , and results were solid during the first quarter of 2011 , the environment during the remainder of 2011 was characterized by broad market concerns and uncertainty , resulting in volatile markets and significantly wider credit spreads , which contributed to difficult market-making conditions and led to reductions in risk by us and our clients . as a

The answer may require mathematical calculation based on the data provided.\n\nnotes to the consolidated financial statements related to the change in the unrealized gain ( loss ) on derivatives for the years ended december 31 , 2010 , 2009 and 2008 was $ 1 million , $ ( 16 ) million and $ 30 million , respectively . 19 . employee savings plan ppg 2019s employee savings plan ( 201csavings plan 201d ) covers substantially all u.s . employees . the company makes matching contributions to the savings plan based upon participants 2019 savings , subject to certain limitations . for most participants not covered by a collective bargaining agreement , company-matching contributions are established each year at the discretion of the company and are applied to a maximum of 6% ( 6 % ) of eligible participant compensation . for those participants whose employment is covered by a collective bargaining agreement , the level of company- matching contribution , if any , is determined by the collective bargaining agreement . the company-matching contribution was 100% ( 100 % ) for 2008 and for the first two months of 2009 . the company- matching contribution was suspended from march 2009 through june 2010 as a cost savings measure in recognition of the adverse impact of the global recession . effective july 1 , 2010 , the company match was reinstated at 50% ( 50 % ) on the first 6% ( 6 % ) contributed for most employees eligible for the company-matching contribution feature . this would have included the bargained employees in accordance with their collective bargaining agreements . on january 1 , 2011 , the company match was increased to 75% ( 75 % ) on the first 6% ( 6 % ) contributed by these eligible employees . compensation expense and cash contributions related to the company match of participant contributions to the savings plan for 2010 , 2009 and 2008 totaled $ 9 million , $ 7 million and $ 42 million , respectively . a portion of the savings plan qualifies under the internal revenue code as an employee stock ownership plan . as a result , the tax deductible dividends on ppg shares held by the savings plan were $ 24 million , $ 28 million and $

are earned based on achieving targeted levels of total shareholder return . all current grants of stock options , rsus and contingent shares are made under the ppg industries , inc . omnibus incentive plan ( 201cppg omnibus plan 201d ) . shares available for future grants under the ppg omnibus plan were 4.1 million as of december 31 , 2010 . total stock-based compensation cost was $ 52 million , $ 34 million and $ 33 million in 2010 , 2009 and 2008 , respectively . the total income tax benefit recognized in the accompanying consolidated statement of income related to the stock-based compensation was $ 18 million , $ 12 million and $ 12 million in 2010 , 2009 and 2008 , respectively . stock options ppg has outstanding stock option awards that have been granted under two stock option plans : the ppg industries , inc . stock plan ( 201cppg stock plan 201d ) and the ppg omnibus plan . under the ppg omnibus plan and the ppg stock plan , certain employees of the company have been granted options to purchase shares of common stock at prices equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date the options were granted . the options are generally exercisable beginning from six to 48 months after being granted and have a maximum term of 10 years . upon exercise of a stock option , shares of company stock are issued from treasury stock . the ppg stock plan includes a restored option provision for options originally granted prior to january 1 , 2003 that allows an optionee to exercise options and satisfy the option price by certifying ownership of mature shares of ppg common stock with equivalent market value . the fair value of stock options issued to employees is measured on the date of grant and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period . ppg estimates the fair value of stock options using the black-scholes option pricing model . the risk-free interest rate is determined by using the u.s . treasury yield curve at the date of the grant and using a maturity equal to the expected life of the option . the expected life of options is calculated using the average of the vesting term and the maximum term , as prescribed by accounting guidance on the use of the simplified method for determining the expected term of an employee share option . this method is used as the vesting term of stock options was changed to three years in 2004 and , as a result , the historical exercise data does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected life of options . the expected dividend yield and volatility are based on historical stock prices and dividend amounts over past time periods equal in length to the expected life of the options . 66 2010 ppg annual report and form 10-k .\nQuestion: in 2010, what percentage

The answer may require mathematical calculation based on the data provided.\n\nrestrictive covenants the terms of the 2017 credit facility and certain of our senior unsecured notes include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit , among other things , our ability to pay dividends , make certain types of investments , incur additional indebtedness , incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets , and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value , a minimum ratio of ebitda to fixed charges , a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value . the dividend restriction referred to above provides that , we will not during any time when a default is continuing , make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests , except to enable the company to continue to qualify as a reit for federal income tax purposes . as of december a031 , 2017 and 2016 , we were in compliance with all such covenants . junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures in june a02005 , the company and the operating partnership issued $ 100.0 a0million in unsecured trust preferred securities through a newly formed trust , sl a0green capital trust i , or the trust , which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the operating partnership . the securities mature in 2035 and bear interest at a floating rate of 125 a0basis points over the three-month libor . interest payments may be deferred for a period of up to eight consecutive quarters if the operating partnership exercises its right to defer such payments . the trust preferred securities are redeemable at the option of the operating partnership , in whole or in part , with no prepayment premium . we do not consolidate the trust even though it is a variable interest entity as we are not the primary beneficiary . because the trust is not consolidated , we have recorded the debt on our consolidated balance sheets and the related payments are classified as interest expense . interest rate risk we are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our variable rate debt . our exposure to interest rate fluctuations are managed through either the use of interest rate derivative instru- ments and/or through our variable rate debt and preferred equity investments . a hypothetical 100 a0basis point increase in interest rates along the entire interest rate curve for a02017 would increase our consolidated annual interest cost , net of interest income from variable rate debt and preferred equity investments , by $ 2.7 a0mil- lion and would increase our share of joint venture annual interest cost by $ 17.2 a0million . at december a031 , 2017 , 61.5% ( 61.5 % ) of our $ 2.1 a0bil- lion debt and preferred equity portfolio is indexed to libor . we recognize most derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value . derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through income . if a derivative is considered a hedge , depending on the nature of the hedge , changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset , liability , or firm commitment through earnings , or recog- nized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings . the ineffective portion of a derivative 2019s change in fair value is immediately recognized in a0earnings . our long-term debt of $ 4.3 a0billion bears interest at fixed rates , and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in the market interest rates . our variable rate debt and variable rate joint venture debt as of december a031 , 2017 bore interest based on a spread of libor plus 100 a0basis points to libor plus 415 a0basis points . contractual obligations the combined aggregate principal maturities of mortgages and other loans payable , the 2017 credit facility , senior unsecured notes ( net of discount ) , trust preferred securities , our share of joint venture debt , including as-of-right extension options and put

interest in the aosp , an oil sands mining and upgrading joint venture located in alberta , canada . the joint venture produces bitumen from oil sands deposits in the athabasca region utilizing mining techniques and upgrades the bitumen to synthetic crude oils and vacuum gas oil . the aosp 2019s mining and extraction assets are located near fort mcmurray , alberta , and include the muskeg river and the jackpine mines . gross design capacity of the combined mines is 255000 ( 51000 net to our interest ) barrels of bitumen per day . the aosp operations use established processes to mine oil sands deposits from an open-pit mine , extract the bitumen and upgrade it into synthetic crude oils . ore is mined using traditional truck and shovel mining techniques . the mined ore passes through primary crushers to reduce the ore chunks in size and is then sent to rotary breakers where the ore chunks are further reduced to smaller particles . the particles are combined with hot water to create slurry . the slurry moves through the extraction process where it separates into sand , clay and bitumen-rich froth . a solvent is added to the bitumen froth to separate out the remaining solids , water and heavy asphaltenes . the solvent washes the sand and produces clean bitumen that is required for the upgrader to run efficiently . the process yields a mixture of solvent and bitumen which is then transported from the mine to the scotford upgrader via the approximately 300-mile corridor pipeline . the aosp's scotford upgrader is located at fort saskatchewan , northeast of edmonton , alberta . the bitumen is upgraded at scotford using both hydrotreating and hydroconversion processes to remove sulfur and break the heavy bitumen molecules into lighter products . blendstocks acquired from outside sources are utilized in the production of our saleable products . the upgrader produces synthetic crude oils and vacuum gas oil . the vacuum gas oil is sold to an affiliate of the operator under a long-term contract at market-related prices , and the other products are sold in the marketplace . as of december 31 , 2014 , we own or have rights to participate in developed and undeveloped leases totaling approximately 163000 gross ( 33000 net ) acres . the underlying developed leases are held for the duration of the project , with royalties payable to the province of alberta . synthetic crude oil sales volumes for 2014 averaged 50 mbbld and net-of-royalty production was 41 mbbld . in december 2013 , a jackpine mine expansion project received conditional approval from the canadian government . the project includes additional mining areas , associated processing facilities and infrastructure . the government conditions relate to wildlife , the environment and aboriginal health issues . we will evaluate the potential expansion project and government conditions after infrastructure reliability initiatives are completed . the governments of alberta and canada have agreed to partially fund quest ccs for $ 865 million canadian . in the third quarter of 2012 , the energy and resources conservation board ( \"ercb\" ) , alberta's primary energy regulator at that time , conditionally approved the project and the aosp partners approved proceeding to construct and operate quest ccs . government funding commenced in 2012 and continued as milestones were achieved during the development , construction and operating phases . failure of the aosp to meet certain timing , performance and operating objectives may result in repaying some of the government funding . construction and commissioning of quest ccs is expected to be completed by late 2015. .\nQuestion: by what amount did net undeveloped acres decrease from 2015 to 2016?\nAnswer: 633.0\nQuestion: and
