Financial Accounting Homework

[Kishan]

We were given the balance sheet for a certain imaginary company. We have to calculate Earnings Per Share, but are not given Net Income or Sales Revenue. We are given Cash by operating activities though (is that net income?) . How can I calculate EPS?

Thanks,
Kishan

It's allowed... just don't pass it off as "some self test", "helping a friend", "refreshing my memory" or anything of that sort.

EPS = net income/total shares

for operating activity,
total rev
- total expenses
= net income

read the textbook

If you would have read the OP carefully enough, you would have seen the words, "balance sheet." That implies assets and liabilities. Exihibit 2 from the OP would show, "We have to calculate Earnings Per Share, but are not given Net Income orSales Revenue."




Now does anyone have the answer? What is cash from operations? Is that a synonym for net income?

Cash from operations is just that. Cash from operating activities. You cannot calculate Net Income from that alone in most cases since companies will likely have interest income/expenses, taxes, etc.
