Answer and Explanation:

Earnings per Share, EPS = <u>Net Income dividend of preferred stock</u>

                                            Number of stock outstanding

EPS  depends on the earnings and its dilution due to increase in preferred stock also it depends on the net income earned

When EPS is higher than analyst prediction,

this may be due to increase in the net income

or

payback of common stock or preferred stock

thereby leading to reduction in the number of stock outstanding

When EPS is lower than analyst prediction

this would be due to reduction in the net income

or

increase of stock or preferred stock due to fresh issue

Insurance against issues that could lead to reduction on income and inrease in the activities that will lead to net income increase can help meet or surpass analyst prediction

The method of identifying the advantages and disadvantages of various options by looking at the incremental impact on total revenue and total cost caused by a very modest change in the value or input of each alternative (just one unit). Instead of making decisions based on totals or averages, marginal analysis encourages those that focus on small or gradual changes to resources. Examining the costs and possible gains of particular business operations or financial choices is known as marginal analysis. The objective is to ascertain whether the benefits from the change in activity will be great enough to outweigh the costs.

Explanation:

The unemployment rate measures the amount of people who are out of a job for at least 4 weeks, and are actively seeking to find a new job. If a person is not willing or able to search for a job, he/she is not considered unemployed nor part of the labor force.

If unemployed people just quit looking for jobs, the unemployment will decrease even though the number of people who are out a job increases. This happens because as soon as someone quits looking for new job, they are not considered unemployed anymore.

Adkins Bakery uses the modified halfminusmonth convention to calculate depreciation expense in the year an asset is purchased or
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The correct answer is $9187.5.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Asset cost = $140,000

Residual value = $42,000

Life period = 8 years

So, Annual depreciation can be calculated by using following method:

Annual depreciation = ( Asset cost - Residual value) ÷ Life period

= ($140,000 - $42,000) ÷ 8

= $12,250

As depreciation is to be recorded till Dec.31

So, total time period = Apr - Dec = 9 months

So, Depreciation expense till Dec.31 = $12,250 × (9 ÷ 12)

= $9,187.5

Hence, Depreciation expense till Dec.31 is $9,187.5.
