All of the following statements are true regarding earnings per common share (EPS) except:

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.

Explanation:

Based on this scenario it can be said that Donald is entitled to Compensatory Damages.

In this scenario, Donald's employer breached the contract by firing Donald before the twelve months. Therefore Donald can sue for compensatory damages which would be the amount of money that he would have made in the rest of the twelve months.
