A friend asks to borrow $55 from you and in return will pay you $58 in one year. If your bank is offering a 6.0% interest rate o

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Value of deposit = $58.3

We can borrow approx $54.72 today if we are to pay bank $58 in one year from now.

The return provided by bank for a deposit of $55 is an interest of $3.3 (58.3 - 55) while the return provided by lending to a friend is $3 (58 - 55). So, the money should be deposited in the bank.

Explanation:

The interest offered by the bank is at 6% which we assume is the simple interest rate. To calculate the value one year from now of $55 deposited in the bank at 6%, we can use the following formula,

Value of deposit = Principal + Interest

Where,

Interest can be calculated as = Principal * interest rate

So,

Value of deposit = 55 + 55 * 0.06

Value of deposit = $58.3

We would have $58.3 one year from now if deposited in the bank.

To calculate the money that can be borrowed today for a one year later payment of $58 can be calculated using the present value formula,

Present Value = Future Value / (1+i)^t

Present value = 58 / (1+0.06)^1

Present value = 54.71698113 rounded off to $54.72

So, we can borrow approx $54.72 today if we are to pay bank $58 in one year from now.

The return provided by bank for a deposit of $55 is an interest of $3.3 (58.3 - 55) while the return provided by lending to a friend is $3 (58 - 55). So, the money should be deposited in the bank.

All of the following statements are true regarding earnings per common share (EPS) except:

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

d) EPS cannot be calculated if a company has no preferred stock.

Explanation:

The above statement is untrue about E.P.S because the reason why 'Preferred dividend' (which is dividend on preference shares) is subtracted from Net Income, before being divided by the 'Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding' is for comparability.

Since the denominator is based on 'common shares' or 'ordinary shares', it makes sense not to include the part of income that has fallen to preferred shares.

As a matter of fact there are a lot of companies that do not have preferred stock and still report Earnings Per Share on their financial statements.

Finally, still on comparability; E.P.S helps to compare the performance of big companies that have preferred stock with small companies that do not have. Hence EPS can be calculated even when there is no preferred stock.
