3. Question on growth rates and CAGR (Compound annual growthrate): Suppose EPS 2012 = $1.4 EPS 2013 = $1.7 EPS 2014 = $2.1
a. Calculate the growth rate of EPS from 2012 to 2013. 1.7 = x100%=21.43% 1.4
b. Calculate CAGR (2012-2014). =¿
4. Question on the adjustments for non-recurring items:
A company has a one-time pre-tax gain of $25 due to the sale of a noncore business. Tax rate = 38%. If the reported EBIT = $675 Then adjusted EBIT = ? reported EBITDA = $850 adjusted EBITDA = ? reported NI = $355.3 adjusted NI = ? One time pre-tax gain:
After tax impact = 25 x (1-0.38) = 15.5$
Adjusted EBIT = 675 - 25 = 650$
Adjusted EBIT DA = 850 - 25 = 825$ Adjusted net income = 355.3 - 15.5 = 339.8$
