Regarding HEB Article – There is some confusion on abbreviation for Million. If your an engineer your look at it $50MM with each M representing 000. See below:
“The Roman numeral M is often used to indicate one thousand, and MM is used to indicate one million. For example, an expense of $60,000 might appear as $60M. Sales of $3,000,000 might be written as $3MM. Internet advertisers are familiar with CPM which is the cost per thousand impressions.”
The ‘Little Couple’ home was overpriced for a number of reasons, but the listing photos did it no favors. The interior looked very cold.
Mr. Clean,
I’ve also seen the representation of ‘000 by ‘m’ and ‘000,000 by ‘M’. In the Oil and Gas industry it seems to be a common differentiation, but more utilized in units other than financial.
