Effect of Financing on Earnings Per Share Three different plans for financing an $18,000,000 corporation are under consideration by its organizers. Under each of the following plans, the securities will be issued at their par or face amount, and the income tax rate is estimated at 40% of income:

Plan 1 Plan 2 Plan 3
8% bond - - $9,000,000
Prefered 4% stock, $20 par - $9,000,000 $4,500,000
Common stock 10% $18,000,000 $9,000,000 $4,500,000
Total $18,000,000 $18,000,000 $18,000,000

Determine the earnings per share of common stock for each plan, assuming that the income before bond interest and income tax is $2,100,000.

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i. e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”

Which law would encourage more people to become homeowners but not encourage risky loans that could end in foreclosure? options: offering first time homebuyers tax-free accounts to save for down payments requiring all mortgages to be more affordable, interest-only loans outlawing home inspections and appraisals by mortgage companies limiting rent increases to less than 2% a year

Faldo corp sells on terms that allow customers 45 days to pay for merchandise. its sales last year were $325,000, and its year-end receivables were $60,000. if its dso is less than the 45-day credit period, then customers are paying on time. otherwise, they are paying late. by how much are customers paying early or late? base your answer on this equation: dso - credit period = days early or late, and use a 365-day year when calculating the dso. a positive answer indicates late payments, while a negative answer indicates early payments. a. 21.27b. 22.38c. 23.50d. 24.68e. 25.91b
