Your answer:

27.60%

Your answer:

30.30%

Your answer:

24.20%

Correct answer:

34.50%

Explanation:

Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income by average owner's equity. Beginning owner's equity is the difference between beginning assets and liabilities ($800K - $300K = $500K). Ending owner's equity is beginning equity of $500K + net income of $200K - dividends paid of $40K = $660K. This makes average equity $580K, and return on equity is $200K dividend by $580K.

Your answer:

Correct answer:

$5.98

Explanation:

Basic EPS is calculated as (net income - preferred dividends)/average common shares outstanding. $80K in preferred dividends were paid during the year ($20K x 4 quarters). Average common shares outstanding were 92K (80K beginning shares x 3/12 months plus 96K shares after the issuance x 9/12 months). Thus EPS is ($630K - $120K)/92K.
