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.

e) Increase the required rate of return used to evaluate the project to reflect the higher risk of the project
Explanation:
As per the basic concept of investment, "higher the risk, higher the return".
Thus, an investor assumes a higher risk only in the scenario wherein the expected return would be commensurate with such risk. Investor would only invest in a risky asset when the return derived can compensate him for the excess risk assumed.
Required rate of return is an investors expectation of return from a project also referred to as the cost of capital.
So for the purpose of evaluating the project, the investor should use a higher required rate of return to signify higher risk which would reveal the true viability of the project.
