Enter Supplemental Data:
Enter the statutory income tax rate applicable to ordinary income and deductions (such as the deduction for interest expense). The Federal corporate income tax rate is currently 35 percent in the United States. Alternatively, one can enter a statutory tax rate that captures the combined effects of Federal, state, and foreign income taxes. These rates are commonly disclosed in the tax note.
This rate is computed by FSAP as the ratio of the income tax expense to income before tax.
Enter the sum of the pre-tax amounts of unusual and nonrecurring items and the after-tax amounts of discontinued operatons, extraordinary items and changes in accounting principles from the income statement above (if any). The analyst must then adjust the items that are stated in pre-tax amounts to an after-tax basis either by adjusting for the specific amounts of applicable tax (or tax savings) as disclosed by the firm, or if not disclosed, by adjusting these items for the statutory tax rate.
Enter the amount of depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment. These amounts (if any) are usually disclosed either in the property, plant and equipment note or in a supplemental inforrmation note. If depreciation expense is not disclosed separately from amortization expense, enter depreciation plus amortization expense.
Enter the total amount of preferred stock dividends paid, if any.
Enter the number of common shares outstanding at the end of each year. Be sure to reduce the number of shares issued by the number of any shares held as treasury stock to arrive at the number of common shares outstanding. The number of common shares outstanding should be expressed in the same numerical units (for example, thousands or millions) as the financial statement amounts entered in the preceding cells.
Enter the amount that appears on the firm's income statement.
This cell computes common dividends per share by dividing the dividend payments from the cash flow statement by the number of outstanding shares. This assumes the firm pays immaterial preferred dividends. If that assumption does not hold, enter the amount of common dividends per share directly.
This should be the closing market price per share on the last day of the firm's accounting period (usually December 31 of each year). If stock markets are closed on the last day of the accounting period, use the closing price on the most recent trading day following the end of the period.
FSAP checks for an equality between total assets and total liabilities plus shareholders' equity. A non-zero amount in this row indicates a likely data input error in one or more balance sheet accounts.
FSAP checks that the inputted amounts of revenues and expenses equal the reported amount of net income. A non-zero amount on this row likely indicates an input error in one or more income statement accounts.
