dlinn [17]

Answer:

b. The transactions would lower Safeco's financial strength as measured by its current ratio but raise Risco's current ratio

Explanation:

The formula to compute the current ratio is shown below:

Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities

So,

For Safeco, the current ratio would be

= $20 million ÷ $10 million

= 2 times

And for Risco, the current ratio would be

= $10 million ÷ $20 million

= 0.5 times

After borrowing, the current ratio would be

The current assets and the current liabilities would be increased by $10 million in each side.

For Safeco, the current ratio would be

= $30 million ÷ $20 million

= 1.5 times

And for Risco, the current ratio would be

= $20 million ÷ $30 million

= 0.67 times

By comparing the current ratio, we get to know that The Safeco current ratio would be decreased whereas, the Risco current ratio is increased

1. Keira’s Kitchen Company presented the following data: Net Income $2,500,000 Preferred Stock, 50,000 shares outstanding, $100

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Earnings Per Share (EPS) = $1.18

Explanation:

We know,

Earnings Per Share (EPS) = $\frac{Net Income - Preferred Dividend}{No. of shares outstanding}$

Here,

Net Income = $2,500,000

Preferred Dividend = Total preferred stock in dollar x cost of preferred stock

Preferred Dividend = $5,000,000 x 8% = $400,000

No. of shares outstanding table is shown below (Weighted):

Shares outstanding + Additional shares - Treasury stock =

[750,000 x stock split] + [300,000 x (8/12) x stock split] - [150,000 x (5/12) x stock split]

= (750,000 x 2) + (200,000 x 2) - (62,500 x 2)

= 1,500,000 + 400,000 - 125,000

= 1,775,000

Now, EPS = $\frac{2,500,000 - 400,000}{1,775,000}$

EPS = 1.18 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

<em>Note:</em> 1. As, there is a stock split of 2-for-1, that's why we multiply the stock by 2.

2. Since additional shares are issued on 1st May, therefore, the weight from May to December is for 8 months. Repurchased or Treasury stock should be removed from number of shares.
