Answer:
a. $0.30
Explanation:
Basic Earning Per Share (BEPS) = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stock.
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock calculation :
Net income after tax for the period $160,000
Less Preference Dividend ($10,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $150,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stock calculation :
Outstanding common shares 500,000
Therefore,
Basic Earning Per Share (BEPS) = $150,000 ÷ 500,000
= $0.30
Answer:
D) is 20% above expectations.
Explanation:
The Augusta Division was supposed to earn a net profit of $1,000,000 (= $2,000,000 - $1,000,000). Since the division's manager and his/her team were able to cut reduce fixed costs to $900,000 and increase contribution margin to $2,100,000 (either by increasing selling price or reducing variable costs), then the division earned a net profit of $1,200,000 (= $2,100,000 - $900,000). This net profit is 20% higher than expected, therefore the manager's (and his/her team's) overall performance was 20% above expectations.
The answer is B revenue is less than expenses
