Tucker Electronic System's current balance sheet shows total common equity of $3,125,000.The company has 125,000 shares of stock outstanding,and they sell at a price of $52.50 per share.By how much do the firm's market and book values per share differ?

Meric Mining Inc.recently reported $15,000 of sales,$7,500 of operating costs other than depreciation,and $1,200 of depreciation.The company had no amortization charges,it had outstanding $6,500 of bonds that carry a 6.25% interest rate,and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 35%.How much was the firm's net income after taxes? Meric uses the same depreciation expense for tax and stockholder reporting purposes.

In accounting,emphasis is placed on determining net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.In finance,the primary emphasis is also on net income because that is what investors use to value the firm.However,a secondary financial consideration is cash flow,because cash is needed to operate the business.

The retained earnings account on the balance sheet does not represent cash.Rather,it represents part of stockholders' claims against the firm's existing assets.This implies that retained earnings are in fact stockholders' reinvested earnings.

Lucy's Music Emporium opened its doors on January 1,2012,and it was granted permission to use the same depreciation calculations for shareholder reporting and income tax purposes.The company planned to depreciate its fixed assets over 20 years,but in December 2012 management realized that the assets would last for only 15 years.The firm's accountants plan to report the 2012 financial statements based on this new information.How would the new depreciation assumption affect the company's financial statements?

The time dimension is important in financial statement analysis.The balance sheet shows the firm's financial position at a given point in time,the income statement shows results over a period of time,and the statement of cash flows reflects changes in the firm's accounts over that period of time.

On 12/31/2013,Heaton Industries Inc.reported retained earnings of $675,000 on its balance sheet,and it reported that it had $172,500 of net income during the year.On its previous balance sheet,at 12/31/2012,the company had reported $555,000 of retained earnings.No shares were repurchased during 2013.How much in dividends did Heaton pay during 2013?

Hunter Manufacturing Inc.'s December 31,2012,balance sheet showed total common equity of $2,050,000 and 100,000 shares of stock outstanding.During 2013,Hunter had $250,000 of net income,and it paid out $100,000 as dividends.What was the book value per share at 12/31/13,assuming that Hunter neither issued nor retired any common stock during 2013?

JBS Inc.recently reported net income of $4,750 and depreciation of $885.How much was its net cash flow,assuming it had no amortization expense and sold none of its fixed assets?

The income statement shows the difference between a firm's income and its costs-i.e.,its profits-during a specified period of time.However,not all reported income comes in the form or cash,and reported costs likewise may not correctly reflect cash outlays.Therefore,there may be a substantial difference between a firm's reported profits and its actual cash flow for the same period.

HHH Inc.reported $12,500 of sales and $7,025 of operating costs (including depreciation).The company had $18,750 of investor-supplied operating assets (or capital),the weighted average cost of that capital (the WACC)was 9.5%,and the federal-plus-state income tax rate was 40%.What was HHH's Economic Value Added (EVA),i.e.,how much value did management add to stockholders' wealth during the year?
