Accounting Nitty-Gritty
Bulldozing expenses - Watch out when bulldozing company assets. You are not only using money by bulldozing but you are destroying company equity. If the goal of the game is CBV, this could spell disaster for you. More importantly in the early game, the bankers look closely at your profit. If you have large losses caused by destroying company assets by bulldozing, they will downgrade your bond rating. Thus you will not be able to sell bonds to grow.
