In a financial organization the EPS has been caclculated as Net profit available to equity shareholders/No. of ordinary shares outstanding
The organization is considering Net profit available to equity shareholders before distributing Preference dividend,Interest and Income Tax......now they are distributing the same as dividend after deducting preference dividend and interest from the above said profit to the equity holders ....
is this procedure correct???
please also tell me what could be the intention of that organization in doing so???
