Answer:

a. $0.30

Explanation:

Basic Earning Per Share (BEPS) = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stock.

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock calculation :

Net income after tax for the period                            $160,000

Less Preference Dividend                                           ($10,000)

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $150,000

Weighted Average Number of Common Stock calculation :

Outstanding common shares                                      500,000

Therefore,

Basic Earning Per Share (BEPS) = $150,000 ÷ 500,000

                                                     = $0.30

Do you agree with the following statement: AVC and MC intersect at the minimum of marginal cost. a. Yes, since an upward sloping
insens350 [35]

Answer: c. No, since the MC and AVC curve intersect at the minimum of AVC

Explanation:

Marginal cost is the cost of producing one extra unit of a product while average cost is the average of all the units produced so far. Therefore, when Marginal cost is low, it pulls the average costs down with it because it will be lower than the Average costs.

However, as Marginal costs start to rise, average cost will still be low because it is taking into account the lower previous marginal costs. Marginal cost will then keep rising until it intersects the average costs at it's minimum. Once this happens Average cost will start being pulled up because the current high costs will on average eclipse the current low costs.
