Answer:
1. Cost to retail ratio = Cost of goods available for sale/ Retail value of goods available for sale
- Cost of goods available for sale = $430000 + $920000 + $62550 = $1412550
- Retail Value of goods available for sale = Retail value of inventory + Net Markup - Net Markdown = $565000 + $1340000 + $61000 - $31000 = $1935000
Cost to retail ratio = Cost of goods available for sale/Retail value of goods available for sale = ($1412550/$1935000)*100 = 73%
Sales value at retail = $1265000
So, Cost Of goods Sold = Sales Value at retail*Cost to retail ratio = $1265000*73% = $923,450
2. Ending Inventory Retail Value = Retail value of goods available for sale-Sales value at retail = $1935000 - $1265000 = $670,000
So, Cost of ending inventory = Ending inventory value at retail*Cost to retail ratio = $670000*73% = $489,100
EPS is Net Income attributed to shareholders divided by no. of shares outstanding. The dividend on preferred stock is subtracted from net income before calculating earnings per share (EPS). Following is the formula for Earnings per share
EPS = (Net Income – Preferred Dividend)/ No. of common stocks outstanding
= ($611,000 - $84,000)/ 303,000
= $1.74
Therefore, earnings per share would be $1.74.
This kind of reasoning is said to be DEDUCTIVE REASONING.
Deductive reasoning is the process of reasoning based on multiple premises that are generally believed to be true. Deductive reasoning usually moves from the general to the specific. For instance, in the question given above, Jason reasoned that if other products are sold at discounted prices, then the items that are newly available will also be sold at discounted prices.
