Answer:

a. The EPS would drop from $6.954 to $(43.046)

b. The EPS would drop from $0.8 to $6.954

c. Firm acquisition will has smaller impact on earning. However, it is not necessary that it is a cheaper method as the firm has to issue a big amount of new shares to new shareholders ( 50 million shares issue in comparison of 6.5 million oustanding shares) which diluted EPS of current shareholders causing potential problem in Corporate Governance ( e.g: new shareholders with substantial voting rights may ask for the re-election of BOD).  

Explanation:

As Quisco System acquires new firm, it will have to issue 50 million new shares ( $900 million / $18), resulting in EPS of $0.8 => Total after-tax earning of the  company this year with the absence of R&D expenses is $45.2 million ( 0.8 x (56.5 million outstanding shares). => Current year EPS is $6.954 ($45.2 million/6.5 million outstanding shares)

Thus:

+ With the product development through other firm acquisition, Quisco will keep a positive EPS at $0.8 with 56 million outstanding shares.

+ With product development in-house chosen, the R&D expenses will be booked as expenses this year ( as it is uncertain the R&D will bring future benefit yet it is not capitalized), Quisco System's earning would be: $45.2 million - $500 million x (1- 35%) =  -$279.8 million => EPS = -279.8 million / 6.5 million shares = $(43.046).

kaheart [24]

Answer:

D. $ 600,000

Explanation:

if X's withdrawals = y

Net Income = 2y

X 's share of profit = 2y ×60%

                              = 1.2 y

X's Closing capital + X's withdrawals = Opening Capital + Share of Net income

$ 140000 + y = $ 80000 + 1.2y

1.2y - y = $ 140000 - $ 80000

           = $60000

0.20y = $ 60000

        y = $ 300000

Therefore,

Net Income = 2y

                    = 2×300000

                    = $ 600000
