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.
<h2>segment and company financial goals are congruent.</h2>
Explanation:
I think the options are missed and hence given below for your reference:
a) decision-making is made by the top executives.
b) investments made by each segment are minimized.
c) identification of operating segments that should be closed.
d) segment and company financial goals are congruent.
Let us understand the meaning:
Congruent: It means two or more things coincides when superimposed.
Financial goals: The target which needs to be achieved in the current financial year.
Segments: Segment speaks about the location, product or service provided by the company.
Financial goals are necessary so that it would be easy to organize and work towards the specific goal.
For the business goal to be achieved, every organization should frame financial targets or goals.
So the important goal is to achieve segment and company financial goals and they become congruent when achieved.
