If youâre making a cake that contains a large amount of fat or chocolate (a cup or more) you may need to reduce the shortening by 1 or 2 Tbsp. and add an egg to prevent the cake from falling. The leavening, sugar, and liquid in cakes leavened with baking powder or baking soda may need adjustment, too (see chart below).aking at high altitudes, 3,500 feet above sea level or more, requires some adjustments to standard recipes.

The formula for calculating EPS would then be: EPS = (net income â dividends on preferred stock) / average outstanding common shares.

Example of Preferred Stock Value Formula. An individual is considering investing in straight preferred stock that pays $20 per year in dividends. It has been determined that based on risk, the discount rate would be 5%. The price the individual would want to pay for this security would be $20 divided by .05(5%) which is calculated to be $400. The formula could be reworked to find the rate or return by dividing the fixed dividend payout by the price. For example, if the price is $40 per share and the annual dividend is $4, the rate would be .10 or 10%.
