5. Comparing EPS’es
Basic EPS = (Net Income - Preferred
Dividends) / Weighted Average
Number of Common Shares
Diluted EPS = (Net Income - Preferred
Dividends + Convertible Securities
Interest) / (Weighted Average Number
of Common Shares Outstanding +
Potential Additional Common Shares
from Convertible Securities)
Basic EPS:
Basic EPS = (100 - 10) / 50 = $1.80 per
share
Diluted EPS:
Diluted EPS = (100 - 10 + 5) / (50 + 10) =
$1.50 per share
Basic EPS Diluted EPS
8. Depreciation is not
a source of cash,
but it is added to
net profit. Why
No, the amount of dividend income doesn’t equal
to amount of dividend received. Dividend income
is the total income earned by the organization
from their investments in dividend-paying stocks.
It represents the sum of all dividends earned from
various investments over a year. Dividend income
for the year 2022-23 is 70.48 crore.
Depreciation is not a source of cash, but it is
added to net profit because it is a non-cash
expense. This means that it is a cost that is
incurred by the business, but it does not require
an outflow of cash. Depreciation is a method of
allocating the cost of a tangible asset over its
useful life. Depreciation is an important concept
for businesses to understand. It allows them to
accurately reflect the cost of their assets on
their income statement and to calculate their
cash flow from operating activities.
Does the amount of
dividend income
equal dividend
received? Why or
why not?
9. Does the amount of interest
expense equal interest paid?
Why or why not?
No, the amount of interest expense
doesn’t equal to the amount of
interest paid. They are related but
differ due to accounting principles.
Interest Expense is the total cost of
borrowing money over a specific
period, as recorded in the
organization’s income statement. It
represents the accrued interest cost
based on the interest rate and the
outstanding balance of debt
10. Change in working capital items
Change in working capital = (Summation of changes in current
assets) – (Summation of changes in current liabilities)
Change in working capital = (44.18+433.03+546.84-
119.60+173.91+61.08-11.63)–(23.58+39.65-
491.08+526.73+64.83+8.27+12.04)
Change in working capital = Rs. 943.79 cr
Therefore, the working capital has increased over the period & the
changed amount is Rs. 943.79 cr.
11. Free cash flow
Free cash flow = Operating cash flow – Capex expenses.
Here, operating cash flow = 4221.65 crores.
Capex expenses = 1057.27-16.28 = 1040.99 crores
Free cash flow = 4221.65 – 1040.99 = 3180.66 crores.
Thus we can conclude that company has huge stock of free cash
flow which will help it in case of any adverse situations in future.
