    How did you get $694,000?

    @salring

    1.$900-$80 = $ 820

    2. $900-$500 = $400

    $100-$80 = $20

    3. $420 *.30 = $126

    4.$820 – $126 = $694

    do you why the liabilities was added back?

    @mb0363 When the preferred stock is converted into common stock, the dividends are no longer paid. Therefore you do not have to subtract them in the numerator when calculating net income attributable to common shareholders.

    I've got my second stab at FAR in two days…anyone else out there taking the test this week?

    I feel like I've forgotten most things since I've reveived my Becker material twice…but I keep doing progress tests (30 MCQ sets) and scoring in the mid-upper 70s. I do recall from my first attempt at this test that the actual exam questions were “easier” and more basic than what Becker was testing us on. (This is more of a ‘I'm procrastinating” post)

    This is also my second stab at far. I switched my exam date and will be testing Saturday as well! I was not prepared at al last time. The exam was like a foreign language…. Doing my best to retain all the info I can this time around. Just hoping for that 75 so I can be done with these exams forever.
