During the current year, Comma Co. had outstanding: 25,000 shares of common stock; 8,000 shares of $20 par, 10% cumulative prefe
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The Comma’s basic earnings per share for the current year was $7.36

Explanation:

The computation of the earning per share is shown below

Earning per share = (Net income - preferred dividend) ÷ (Number of shares)

where,

Net income is $200,000

Preference dividend = Number of shares × price per share × rate

                                  = 8,000 shares × $20 × 10%

                                  = $16,000

And, the number of outstanding shares is $25,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

=  ($200,000 - $16,000) ÷ (25,000 shares)

= $184,000 ÷ 25,000 shares

= $7.36 per share

controllable margin = contribution margin - controllable fixed costs

$605,000-($800,000-380,000) = 185,000

That means that the Linen department helps to reduced fixed cost that are not generated by this department and that will keep existing wether the department is closed or not.
