Which of the following is the normalized earnings figure for 2x10, which will be calculated by Pedroia using the average return on equity method?
Answer Choices:
A. $2.63
B. $2.72
C. $2.59
Explanation
Using the average return on equity method, normalized EPS is calculated as the average
return on equity multiplied by the current book value per share.
Average ROE = (14.8 + 15.4 + 18.0) / 3 = 16.07%
Normalized EPS = 0.1607 × 16.40 = $2.63
