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. Here are some general guidelines: Because there is generally lower humidity at high altitudes, flour tends to dry out more quickly and may absorb more liquid in a recipe.
The formula for calculating EPS would then be: EPS = (net income â dividends on preferred stock) / average outstanding common shares. In our example, MHFI had and EPS of 89 cents for the first quarter of 2014. Knowing the EPS of an individual stock is not enough information to make an informed investment decision.
Add the cash flows to the holding period's ending investment value. In the example, if stock ABC rose to $125 per share, add $125 plus $4 to calculate a total value of $129 per share. Divide this figure by the investment's value at the beginning of the holding period. In the example, if you purchased stock ABC for $50, divide $129 by $50 to calculates a multiplier of 2.58. Subtract one from the multiplier to calculates the HPR in decimal format. In the example, 2.58 minus 1 calculates an HPR of 1.58. Multiply this figure by 100 to convert it to percent format. In the example, 1.58 times 100 converts the decimal format to a 158 percent return on investment during the holding period.
