...The definition of Earnings per share is the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. Earnings per share serves as an indicator of a company's profitability. Calculated as: When calculating, it is more accurate to use a weighted average number of shares outstanding over the reporting term, because the number of shares outstanding can change over time. However, data sources sometimes simplify the calculation by using the number of shares outstanding at the end of the period. Diluted EPS expands on basic EPS by including the shares of convertibles or warrants outstanding in the outstanding shares number. Earnings per share are generally considered to be the single most important variable in determining a share's price. It is also a major component used to calculate the price-to-earnings valuation ratio. An important aspect of EPS that's often ignored is the capital that is required to generate the earnings (net income) in the calculation. Two companies could generate the same EPS number, but one could do so with less equity (investment) - that company would be more efficient at using its capital to generate income and, all other things being equal would be a "better" company. Investors also need to be aware of earnings manipulation that will affect the quality of the earnings number. It is important not to rely on any one financial measure, but to use it in conjunction with statement analysis and...

Appropriation of the Five Factors: Given that the market is highly competitive, the forecast undertaken for the number of warehouses was a conservative approach along with a 5% increase in the no. of US stores. Refer to Appendix 1. Sales per store are considered a significant factor in determining profitability and shareholders’ equity. According to the forecast stated by Margarita Torres, the management expectations might be overestimated ($118m in the forecast, $125m-$150m). The membership per store is a relevant factor in determining the future performance of Costco, given that Costco’s goal is achieving low gross margins. The membership base will contribute directly to the net income and promotes a sustainable income for each store. The pre-tax margin defined by the management is achievable; hence the forecasts in the common size analysis state that the pre-tax margin will be range from 3.12% to 3.53% in 2002 and 2006 respectively. The international expansion should be conservative, given the challenges faced upon the historical expansion (Costco A); the retailers should consider that they’re...

...Nelson, MBA, CPA Owners’ Equity Week one objectives include components of paid-in capital, earned capital, diluted earnings, and basic earnings. In the following paragraphs we will discuss (1) why it is important to keep paid-in capital separate from earned capital (2) why paid-in capital or earned capital more important, and (3) are basic or diluted earnings per share more important. Separating paid-in capital from earned capital Paid-in capital represents the amount of funding the owners of a company have invested. For example, if two partners contribute $60,000 to their new company, the company has $120,000 of paid-in capital. Business owners can contribute more capital to the business over time and can withdraw capital. Companies separate ledgers for each owner’s share of paid-in capital, some owners may contribute more or take away capital than other owners. Paid-in capital is not a true expression of a company’s performance. Earned capital is the amount of money generates by cost-effective operations of the company. To a certain extent, to obtain capital externally at an extra cost, they can use these contained by generated funds in a more efficient way. The earned capital also can be paid out to the owners of the company and split among them based on their percentage ownership of the company. A relationship will not exist among retained earnings and a company’s cash arrangement. If the two type of capital were not kept separate, the net income will be overstated...

...CASE: Quality of Earnings #2 – Bear Stearns & Co 1. What is Blockbuster's amortization timetable? Do you think it is appropriate? The amortization timetable of Blockbuster is 40 years. In my opinion as an investor's perspective, it is not appropriate because of this is not as per the SEC standard of 5-7 years. 2. What would be the impact on Blockbuster's 1988 earnings per share if 5 amortization were applied to this goodwill? If the 5-year amortization were applied in its place of the 40-year timetable, then it is necessary for Blockbuster to identify the goodwill in larger amounts. This would increase tax liability of Blockbuster, which would have represented a loss of $0.09 (0.58 - 0.49) per share | 1988 | 40 Yrs. Total | 5 Yrs.

...investor, are basic or diluted earnings per share more important?” Why is it important to keep paid-in capital separate from earned capital? The reason it is important to keep paid-in capital separate from earned capital is due to the amount of money that received from each investors for exchange of stock. When a company earns capital, the amount of money generated as profitable operations of the company (Intermediate Accounting, 12th ed., pg. 792). It is important to keep paid-in capital separate from earned capital because paid-in capital is not a true reflection of a company’s performance. Net income is the source of earned capital. If the two types of capital not kept separate, the net income would be overstated and show that the company is more profitable than it really is. As an investor, earned capital is more important when attempting to figure out how profitable the company paid-in capital is money exchanged for stock; this amount has nothing to do with how profitable the company’s operations are. Basic earnings per share are earrings per share of common stock. Calculate earnings per share by dividing net income available for the common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings are earnings per share are composed of common stock, preferred stock, unexercised stock options unexercised warrants and some convertible debt” (Intermediate Accounting, 12th ed., pg. 793).
