Answer:

Gain or (Loss) on sale = (17000) Loss

Cash 253600 Dr

Accumulated Depreciation 226400 Dr

Loss on Sale 17000 Dr

Equipment 497000 Cr

Gain or (Loss) on sale = 9400 Gain

Cash 280000 Dr

Accumulated Depreciation 226400 Dr

Gain on Sale 9400 Cr

Equipment 497000 Cr

Explanation:

We first need to calculate the carrying value of the equipment at the date of disposal. The carrying value is calculated as follows,

Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Depreciation 2019 = (497000 - 33000) * 83000 / 580000

Depreciation 2019 = 66400

Depreciation 2020 = (497000 - 33000) * 133000 / 580000

Depreciation 2020 = 106400

Depreciation 2021 = (497000 - 33000) * 67000 / 580000

Depreciation 2021 = 53600

Carrying value = 497000 - [ 66400 + 106400 + 53600 ]

Carrying value = $270600

Gain or (Loss) on sale = Sales price - Carrying Value

Gain or (Loss) on sale = 253600 - 270600

Gain or (Loss) on sale = (17000) Loss

Cash 253600 Dr

Accumulated Depreciation 226400 Dr

Loss on Sale 17000 Dr

Equipment 497000 Cr

Gain or (Loss) on sale = Sales price - Carrying Value

Gain or (Loss) on sale = 280000 - 270600

Gain or (Loss) on sale = 9400 Gain

Cash 280000 Dr

Accumulated Depreciation 226400 Dr

Gain on Sale 9400 Cr

Equipment 497000 Cr

A company reported net income of $6 million. During the year the average number of common shares outstanding was 3 million. The

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The EPS is approximately:

it can be any of them:

if preferred dividends = $4,800,000, then EPS = $0.40 (option A)
if preferred dividends = $720,000, then EPS = $1.76 (option B)
if preferred dividends = $0, then EPS = $2 (option D)

EPS = (net income - preferred dividends) / outstanding shares = ($6,000,000 - preferred dividends) / 3,000,000 shares

The Price/Earnings ratio is approximately:

if EPS = $0.40, then PE ratio = 12.5 (option D)
if EPS = $1.76, then PE ratio = 2.84 (option C)
if EPS = $2, then PE ratio = 2.5 (option B)

Price/earnings (PE) ratio = share price / EPS = $5 / EPS

EPS cannot be $1.80, since PE ratio = 2.78 and that is not an option.

Some companies have a higher share price for the same level of earnings. Why?

Some stocks like Amazon have a very low EPS, form any years its EPS was very low bu its stock price kept rising. The stock price is based mostly on potential future earnings, not current earnings. A company that is being liquidated might have a high EPS, but a very low stock price since it will stop operating soon.
