The Handy Dandy Corporation has an income statement which indicates that Earnings Before Taxes is $2,375,486 and it pays taxes at 35% of earnings.The Corporation currently has 1 million shares of common stock outstanding and does not issue preferred stock.What is this corporation's approximate Earnings per Share?

Accepted Answer

First, we calculate the net earnings after taxes by multiplying Earnings Before Taxes by (1 - tax rate):

Net Earnings = $2,375,486 x (1 - 0.35) = $1,544,314.90

Then, we divide the net earnings by the number of shares outstanding to get the Earnings per Share:

EPS =Net Earnings / Number of shares outstanding

EPS = $1,544,314.90 / 1,000,000 = $1.54

Therefore, the approximate EPS for this corporation is $1.54, so the best choice is B.

Question 10

The balance sheet for Jim's Hardware has the following items listed.Current Liabilities,$25,345;Long Term Debt,$100,000;Total Liabilities,$125,345;Total Assets,$325,490.What is the Debt to Equity Ratio for this company?

Accepted Answer

The Debt to Equity Ratio is calculated by dividing Total Liabilities by Total Equity. The formula is Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Equity. To find out Total Equity, we need to subtract Total Liabilities from Total Assets. Total Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities. So, Total Equity = $325,490 - $125,345 = $200,145. Therefore, Debt to Equity Ratio = $125,345 / $200,145 = 0.626 (rounded to three decimal places). The closest choice to this answer is C.

Question 11

In 2005,The Best Donut Shop had cash sales of 83,684 and total sales of 176,413.Accounts Receivable were 3,275.What was Accounts Receivable Turnover?

Accepted Answer

Accounts Receivable Turnover can be calculated by dividing total sales by the average accounts receivable. To find the average accounts receivable, we add the beginning and ending accounts receivable and divide by two.

Beginning Accounts Receivable = $0 
Ending Accounts Receivable = $3,275

Average Accounts Receivable = ($0 + $3,275) / 2 = $1,637.50

Accounts Receivable Turnover = $176,413 / $1,637.50 = 107.71

Therefore, the Accounts Receivable Turnover for The Best Donut Shop was 28.31 (rounded to two decimal places). The best choice is B.

Question 12

The Handy Dandy Corporation has an income statement which indicates that Operating Income is $2,375,486 and Net Profit is $1,375,486.The Corporation currently has 2 million shares of common stock outstanding and 1 million shares of preferred stock which pays a dividend of $1.00 per share.What is this corporation's approximate Earnings per Share?

Accepted Answer

To calculate the earnings per share (EPS), we need to divide the net profit by the total number of outstanding shares. 
Total number of outstanding shares = 2 million common shares + 1 million preferred shares = 3 million shares.
Net profit = $1,375,486
EPS = Net profit / Total number of outstanding shares = $1,375,486 / 3,000,000 = $0.46 per share.

However, since the preferred stock pays a dividend of $1.00 per share, we need to subtract the total dividend paid to preferred stockholders from the net profit before calculating the EPS for common stockholders. 
Total dividend paid to preferred stockholders = 1 million preferred shares x $1.00 per share = $1,000,000
Adjusted net profit available to common stockholders = Net profit - Total dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $1,375,486 - $1,000,000 = $375,486
Adjusted EPS = Adjusted net profit available to common stockholders/ Total number of outstanding shares = $375,486 / 2,000,000 = $0.187743 or approximately $0.19 per share.

Therefore, the best choice is B.

Question 13

The U.S.Government raised the minimum wage from $4.75 to $5.25 between 1996 and 1997.What was the percentage change in the minimum wage?

To find the percentage change, we need to use the following formula:

Percentage change = (New value - Old value) / Old value x 100

Plugging in the values we get:

Percentage change = (5.25 - 4.75) / 4.75 x 100 = 10.53

Therefore, the correct answer is D) 10.53.

Question 14
