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

pshichka [43]

Answer:

consequential damages

Explanation:

According to my research on different types of law suits, I can say that based on the information provided within the question Bill can recover the 900 he lost from Carl as consequential damages. These are damages have happened because of one party's failure to meet a certain deadline or contractual obligation and can be proven in court. Therefore since Bill can prove that he lost the 900 because of Carl's negligence he will most likely win that case.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Marianna [84]

Answer: c. $1,650 unfavorable

Explanation:

The direct labor rate variance shows the difference between the cost of direct labor that the company thought it would incur vs what it actually incurs for the period.

Formula is:

Direct labor rate variance = Actual cost of direct labor - Standard cost of actual hours of direct labor

= Actual hours * (Actual cost - Standard cost)

= 5,500 * (24 - 23.70)

= $1,650 unfavorable

Unfavorable because the actual cost incurred was more than the cost anticipated.

In determining basic earnings per share, dividends on nonconvertible cumulative preferred stock should be:a. deducted from net i
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

b. deducted from net income whether declared or not

Explanation:

The formula to compute the basic earning per share is shown below:

Basic earning per share = (Net income - preferred stock dividend) ÷ (weighted average of outstanding shares)

In the case of the non- convertible cumulative preferred stock, the dividend should be paid whether the business earns profit or loss. If the business does not earn any profit during a particular year, in that period the dividend amount is carried forward to next year.

So, the dividend arrears are to be paid to the cumulative preferred stock.
