In layman terms earnings per share is the profit the company makes / total no: of shares the company has floated .
Say a company makes 5 Million USD profit , and 50000 shares means 5/50k is the EPS . Am I correct ????
My question then is

1) if there are preferred shares then the profit percentage for preferred shares is deducted from computing the EPS .?

2) doesnt the capital of the company have any significance in computing EPS ?


Recently a company said it is diluting its real estate ( capital ) into business and caused a huge uproar in the stock of the company . they claim if you take the land price alone of the company - the value of the share would be 2000 INR instaed of 600 INR which it is trading today ...is this justified ? I mean real estate is a capital first of all and need not reflect in the profit of the company . Suppose company sells of the whole real estate then this is justified . But is it a reality ?

we have been asked to leave our apartment, on good terms with our landlord. however, when we moved in we knew him personally and never signed a lease. over the course of 2 years, 2 windows have been broken, but other then that the apt. is in excellent condition. i was talkin to my landlords daughter and when i mentioned the sd (it was $1000) she laughed and said we werent getting it back bc of the windows. so i asked my bf if we were getting it back and he said he didnt think so. I have yet to ask my landlord, but without a lease and with no receipt of the $1000, how will i be able to prove that i deserve a good portion of my deposit back? ..another thing mentioned was that we would fix the windows (this was mentioned to the daughter) and she said dont bother that he was keeping the money because he was upset it happened to begin with. not bc he needed it to be replaced. is this fair? btw we live in new york state. please inform me!

In simple english, if there are limtations of scope ; such as not being able to attend stock count but you have accounted for it and have come up to a point where you have to deliver your audit opinion. Audits require us to carry out work but since this was info given to us, the opinion we give is qualified but am not sure if it is - 'qualified except for' or 'qualified with a disclaimer'.
Can you help?

I've been renting a house in california to a couple for ten years without a problem. I would always make repairs in a timely manner whenever i was told of those problems. I have never raised the rent and respected their privacy. This year has been a nightmare. They have been late on their payment all year and bounced a check last month. I gave them a 3 day notice to pay or quit. They never paid, so I'm in the process of eviction. A couple of days later I get a certified letter . In that letter, by the way, was also sent to the health department and my city, depicts me as a bad lanlord. The tenants states that we had a verbal conversation about those problems several weeks prior to the eviction process. I never knew about those problems the house had. Right now I'm trying to get a repairman to fix the repairs, but they won't let him in.

My parents had a house built in OK tha should be ready in Jan. They a got loan for $15k to get some extra things put in to the house. My parents got the house built thinking that they could sell the house they have in NY quickly enough so they could use that money to pay for the new house and have some extra money. It's the end of Nov and the house still hasn't sold. If they don't pay for the house by Jan they will lose the $15k they put down. My parents aren't rich so I don't want them to lose that money. Here is the question. Now we are planning on having me get a loan to buy the house in OK. Pay the mortgage until they can sell the house. Then I will sell them the house to them for what ever my loan was for. The house in OK is going to be $203k. The house in NY is for sale for $350k. Would the plan above be a good idea or would we lose money doing that. Or should we just lose the house in OK, sell the house in NY and lose the $15k and just have another one built later on.

Hiya, I'm 15, but 16 in March.
I have been looking around for a Saturday or after school job and have ran out of ideas! I've been to clothes shops in town and they don't employ 15 year olds.
What else should I try?
Is there anywhere you know that is employing 15 year olds, or should I just wait a few months until I am 16 and get one then, although I need money now!
Thanks!
Oh and I don't really want to be doing a paper round or walking peoples dogs ( I have to do that with my dog! )

I have recently received a job offer from a legit furniture company located in England. In this position I will be their agent in the US which entails processing orders. Part of the position involves making deposits in my name from the customers, which when cleared will then be forwarded to the company. This sounds very fishy, has anyone heard of such a thing??

JP Morgan Chase GLOBAL MTN ZERO CPN SER E INDEX-LINKED (RETURN ENHANCED) bond is trading at $50.620. It is due to mature on 4/23/2008, i.e. in 5 months from now. Its offering price is $100, i.e. at par.

Any of you hold any investment in this bond series? I am suprised by this low current price. I cannot believe that if I buy this bond now for $50.620, I will make $48 in return per bond in 5 months from now, thats a whopping 98% return on my money.

It seems too good to be true. Whats your take on it?

I'm 17 until this coming June. I have money saved for living costs and I'm planning to move away from home shortly. I will be moving from one side of the country to the other, which will make it difficult, if not impossible for my parents to sign the lease for me in person. How would I go about signing a lease for an apartment?
