Use the following financial data on Enterprise:

  1. Sale of equipment $32,000
  2. Loss on equipment sale $9,000
  3. Dividends paid $12,500
  4. Purchase of an office suite $104,000
  5. Common stock repurchase $45,000
  6. Dividends received from investments $8,500
  7. Interest received on Treasury bonds $1,200
  8. Supplier accounts paid $3,700
  9. Cash collection from customers $14,200
  10. Ending cash balance $98,000
    $198,300
    In the above question, the beginning cash balance of the firm was ________.:
  11. $216,300
  12. .$207,300
  13. C$198,300
    N. $109,300

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Note that the loss on equipment is a non-cash event. Using the direct method, beginning cash balance + net cash inflow = ending cash balance Hence, beginning balance = 98,000 - (32,000 -12,500 -104,000 - 45,000 + 8,500 +1,200 - 3,700 + 14,200) = $207,300.



The following information is from the financial statements of Complex Capitalists for 1997 and 1998:

Dec. 31, 1997 - 1 million common shares outstanding, capital structure all-equity March 31, 1998 - issued 200,000 common shares.
May 31, 1998 - issued 800,000 warrants exercisable at a strike of 35. The average price during 1998 was 34 and the maximum price was 39. Given the above example, the Diluted EPS will use how many shares?

  1. 1.2 million
  2. 2.0 million
  3. 1.617 million
  4. 1.15 million

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Options and warrants enter into the Diluted EPS calculations only if the average stock price during the period exceeds the exercise price. In this case, since the average price is less than the strike price, the warrants are anti-dilutive and ignored in the calculation of Diluted EPS. Hence, weighted number of shares used = 1 million + 9/12*200,000 = 1.15 million.
