Answer:

d) EPS cannot be calculated if a company has no preferred stock.

Explanation:

The above statement is untrue about E.P.S because the reason why 'Preferred dividend' (which is dividend on preference shares) is subtracted from Net Income, before being divided by the 'Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding' is for comparability.

Since the denominator is based on 'common shares' or 'ordinary shares', it makes sense not to include the part of income that has fallen to preferred shares.

As a matter of fact there are a lot of companies that do not have preferred stock and still report Earnings Per Share on their financial statements.

Finally, still on comparability; E.P.S helps to compare the performance of big companies that have preferred stock with small companies that do not have. Hence EPS can be calculated even when there is no preferred stock.

FARO Technologies, whose products include portable 3 D measurement equipment, recently had 17 million shares outstanding trading

zysi [14]

Answer:

a. Market signaling studies suggest that the price of existing FARO shares will fall.

b. $60,000,000

c. 8.403%

d. $38.471

Explanation:

Given

New Shares: $200,000,000

Existing Shares: $17,000,000

Price per Share: 42

Because the stock of the FARO Technologies is overvalued at the current price

Expected Loss: 30% * New Shares Size

New Shares Size = $200,000,000 (given)

Expected Loss = 30% * $200,000,000

Expected Loss = $60,000,000

Percentage of the value of FARO’s existing equity = Ratio of New Expected Share Value to Existing Share Value

Expected Share Value = $60,000,000

Existing Share Value = Price per Shares * Existing Shares

Existing Share Value = 42 * $17,000,000

Existing Share Value = $714,000,000

Percentage of FARO's Existing Equity = $60,000,000 ÷ $714,000,000

Percentage = 8.403%

The price FARO should expect its existing shares to sell

= Price per Share (1 - Percentage of Existing Equity)

Price per Share = 42

Percentage Existing Equity = 8.403%

The price FARO should expect its existing shares to sell = 42(1-8.403%)

The price FARO should expect its existing shares to sell = 42(1-0.08403)

The price FARO should expect its existing shares to sell = 42 * 0.91597

The price FARO should expect its existing shares to sell = $38.47074

The price FARO should expect its existing shares to sell = $38.471 ----- Approximated

The main shortage cost when a producer does not have a requested item in inventory is

Kryger [21]

Answer:

D. The cost from the loss of customer goodwill.

Explanation:

The main shortage costs are the loss of customers that would now go and shop elsewhere. These costs are crucial as once the goodwill is lost it is unlikely the customers would return due to not having being catered the first time. Business want to attract new customers but most importantly they want to retain customers.

This type of shortage cost can be objectified further in marketing costs that were spent to get the customer at the store front in the first place which have been in vain.

All other options are restocking costs that are to be incurred regardless in lead times.

Hope that helps.

Income statement:

Sales= 2,750*80= 220,000

COGS= 2,750*(38 + 20)= (159,500)
