Mr. and Mrs. Garcia have a total of $100,000 to be invested in stocks, bonds, and a money market account. The stocks have a rate

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let y amount be invested in bonds

Let x amount be invested in money account

Let x amount be invested in stocks

x = y + 3x

10,000 = 12/100(y+3x) + 8/100*y + 4/100*x

10,000 = 12(y+3x) + 8y + 4x / 100

10,000 * 100 = 12y+36x + 8y + 4x

2500 * 100 = 3y + 9x + 2y + x

250,000 = 5y + 10x

50,000 = y + 2x.......................(1)

x + y + z = $100,000

y + 3x + y + x = $100,000

2y + 4x = 100,000

y + 2x = 50,000.......................(ii)

y = 50,000 - 2x

x = 50,000 + x

z = z

<u>2 Options are</u>

{(x,y,x), (x2,y2,z2)}

= (50000, 50000) (60000, 30000, 10000)

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.
