Answer 1

(a) gross profits

Sales revenue 100,000

less Cost of goods sold (30,000)

Gross profit = $70,000

(b) operating profits

Gross profit $70,000

less Depreciation expense (10,000)

less SG&A expense (20,000)

Op'g profit = $40,000

(c) net profits before taxes

Op'g profit $40,000

less Interest expense (10,000)

Net profit before taxes = $30,000

(d) net profits after taxes

Net profit before taxes $30,000

less Taxes (10,000)

Net profit after taxes = $20,000

(e) earnings per share

EPS = Net profit $20,000/10,000 shares

= $2 per share
