Answer:

A. $5.17

Explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the Earnings per share

Earnings per share = ( Net Income - preferred Dividend ) / Weighted average numbers of outstanding shares

Where

Net Income = $370,000

Preferred Dividend = 10,000 x $100 x 6% = $60,000

Weighted average numbers of outstanding shares = 54,000 shares + ( 18,000 shares x 4/12 ) = 54,000 shares + 6,000 shares = 60,000 shares

Placing values in the formula

Earnings per share = ( $370,000 - $60,000 ) / 60,000 shares

Earnings per share = $5.17 per share

Romashka [77]

Answer:

a. Interest Deductible = $31,100

b. Interest Deductible = $28,900

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

This year Randy paid $28,900 of interest on his residence. (Randy borrowed $462,000 to buy his residence, and it is currently worth $512,000.) Randy also paid $2,800 of interest on his car loan and $4,650 of margin interest to his stockbroker (investment interest expense). How much of this interest expense can Randy deduct as an itemized deduction under the following circumstances?

a. Randy received $2,200 of interest this year and no other investment income or expenses. His AGI is $75,000.

Interest Deductible $.......

b. Randy had no investment income this year, and his AGI is $75,000.

Interest Deducttible $.......

The explanation of the anwer is now given as follows:

a. Randy received $2,200 of interest this year and no other investment income or expenses. His AGI is $75,000.

Randy may choose to deduct the interest of $28,900 on his residence as an itemized deduction.

The $2,800 of interest on his car loan is a nondeductible personal interest.

The $2,200 interest income received can be regarded as an investment income.

The $4,500 margin interest to his stockbroke is likely investment interest. But since Randy has only $2,200 interest income, his deduction is limited to the $2,200.

Therefore, we have:

Interest Deductible = Interest on his residence + $2,200 = $28,900 + $2,200 = $31,100

b. Randy had no investment income this year, and his AGI is $75,000.

Since there is no investment income, Randy can only dedcut the interest of $28,900 on his residence based on the explanation in part a above.

Therefore, we have:

Interest Deductible = $28,900

Which of the following is an example of the law of diminishing marginal​ returns? A. Holding capital​ constant, when the amount
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

The law of diminishing returns states that as we go on employing more and more unit of input while keeping other inputs constant, the return from each additional unit of input will go on declining.  

This means that the output produced from each additional unit of input will go on declining.

Here, as capital is kept constant and labor is increased by a unit, the output at first increases by 5 units from 20 to 25. But later when input is again increased by a unit, the output increase by only 3 units from 25 to 28.

This shows the law of diminishing marginal returns where the marginal returns from a unit of labor is declining.
