At December 31, 2018, the financial statements of Hollingsworth Industries included the following: Net income for 2018 $ 590 mil
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Basic EPS = $1.359 million

Diluted EPS = $1.195 million

Explanation:

For Basic EPS we need to calculate the number of shares outstanding

Shares as on Jan 1 = 450 million

Treasury shares on Sep 1 =  48 million × (4 months ÷ 12 months)

                                           = 16 million

Number of shares o/s =  Shares as on Jan 1 - Treasury shares on Sep 1

                                    = 450 million - 16 million

                                    = 434 million

Basic EPS = Net Income ÷ Number of shares o/s

                 = $590 million ÷ 434 million

                 = $1.359 million

For Diluted EPS,

Interest savings = 10% × $ 250 million

                           = $25 million

Adjusted Net Income =  Net Income + After tax interest savings

                               = $590 million +  [25 millions - 40(25million)]

                               = $590 million - $15 million

                               = $575 million

and weighted number of shares will include the bonds, that are convertible

Outstanding shares as computed = 434 million

Bond conversion Shares = 47 million

Total shares outstanding =  Outstanding shares as computed + Bond conversion Shares

                                          = 434 million  + 47 million

                                          = 481 million

Diluted EPS = Adjusted Net income ÷ Total shares outstanding

                    = $575 million ÷ 481 million

                    = $1.195 million

Knowledge Check 01 Which of the following is a correct statement regarding control of over-the-counter cash receipts: multiple c
nevsk [136]

Answer: The supervisor should compare the register transactions with the cash receipts report to make sure that both are correct.

Explanation:

The cash register shows the actual amount of money that is collected by the business during the day and the cash receipts journal records the cash collected.

There is therefore a need to ensure that these two tally up as a control method. The supervisors should therefore check for this and if they find that these two are not the same, it means that there is an error somewhere that needs to be rectified.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Net income -$268,000

Operating Cash Flow $511,000

Explanation:

A. Calculation for the Net income

INCOME STATEMENT

Sales $2,560,000

Cost of goods sold $1,364,000

Other expenses $685,000

Depreciation $477,000

EBIT $34,000

Interest $302,000

Taxable income -$ 268,000

($34,000-$302,000)

Taxes (24%) 0

Net income -$268,000

CALCULATION FOR EBIT

Sales $2,560,000

LESS:Cost of goods sold ($1,364,000)

Other expenses ($685,000)

Depreciation ($477,000)

EBIT $34,000

Based on the information given we were told that we should ignore any tax loss which was why Taxes (24%) was $0

The taxes are zero since we are ignoring any carryback or carryforward provisions.

Therefore NET INCOME is -$268,000

B. Calculation for operating cash flow

Using this formula

Operating Cash Flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

Let plug in the formula

Operating Cash Flow= $34,000 + $477,000 - 0

Operating Cash Flow = $511,000

Therefore Operating Cash Flow is $511,000

Which of the following characteristics apply to taxable fringe benefits? (Check all that apply.)
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Employers treat the taxable fringe benefits the same as cash compensation.

Explanation:

Taxable fringe benefits "are included in gross income and subject to federal withholding, social security, and Medicare taxes".

Fringe benefits are "perks and additions to normal compensation that companies give their employees, such as life insurance, tuition assistance, or employee discounts".

* The cost of the taxable fringe benefit is deductible to the employer, not the value of the benefit to the employee.

FALSE,  the taxable fringe benefit is not deductible from the employer.

* Employers treat the taxable fringe benefits the same as cash compensation.

TRUE, and as we can see on the definition above the taxable fringe benefits are treated as a compensation that comapnies giv their employees.
