It's number of shares outstanding X price per share.  You don't use authorized shares.  They have to be issued to be used in the calculation.  Most companies have more shares that are authorized than outstanding.

The portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. EPS serves as an indicator of a company's profitability.\n\nCalculated as:\n\n(Net income - dividend of preferred stock)/number of outstanding share\n\n\n\nIn the EPS calculation, it is more accurate to use a weighted-average number of shares outstanding over the reporting term, because the number of shares outstanding can change over time. However, data sources sometimes simplify the calculation by using the number of shares outstanding at the end of the period.\n\nDiluted EPS expands on the basic EPS by including the shares of convertibles or warrants outstanding in the outstanding shares number. \n\nEarnings per share is generally considered to be the single most important variable in determining a share's price. It is also a major component of the price-to-earnings valuation ratio. \n\nFor example, assume that a company has a net income of $25 million. If the company paid out $1 million in preferred dividends and had 10 million shares for one half of the year and 15 million shares for the other half, the EPS would be $1.92 (24/12.5). First, the $1 million is deducted from the net income to get $24 million. Then a weighted average is taken to find the number of shares outstanding (0.5 x 10M+ 0.5 x 15M = 12.5M).\n\nAn important aspect of EPS that's often ignored is the capital that is required to generate the earnings (net income) in the calculation. Two companies could generate the same EPS number, but one could do so with less equity (investment) - that company would be more efficient at using its capital to generate income and, all other things being equal, would be a "better" company. Investors also need to be aware of earnings manipulation that will affect the quality of the earnings number. It is important not to rely on any one financial measure, but to use it in conjunction with statement analysis and other measures.

Yes, it is accurate, as it's the easiest one to calculate - you take the company profits (reported on their balance sheet and income statement) and you divide that by the number of shares issued.

Not conected at all. The points you talk about are called index, this means that for example:\nMSFT has a market cap of 293 B and ORCL 63 B. Let's say both move up 10%. The weight that each stock has is different and this is how the index is conformed with 1000s of stocks.

CAP rate known as "capitalization rate" is the rate of return a property will produce on the owner's investment.  You estimate the price a typical investor would pay for the income produced by the particular type and class of property.  This is done by estimating the rate of return (or yield) that the investor will demand for the investment of capital in the type of building.  The rate of return is determined by comparing the relationship of net operating income to the sales prices of similar properties that have sold in the current market.  For example, a comparable property that is producing an annual net income of $15,000 is sold for $187.500.  The CAP rate is $15,000 divided by $187.500 or 8%.  If other comparable properties sold at prices that yielded substantially the same rate, it may be concluded that 8% is the rate that the appraiser should apply to the subject property.\n\nHope this is helpful!

You will need to look at a company's SEC filing to obtain the data needed to calculate this ratio.\n\nThe formula is as follows:\n\nLONG-TERM DEBT* divided by LONG TERM CAPITAL**\n\n*Total debt includes all short-term and long-term obligations. \n\n**Total capital includes all common stock, preferred stock and long-term debt.

While there are many techniques you can use to find the right target audience for a company, the most common technique is based on identifying the highest potential customers of its products/services.   \n\nLet's pretend we are trying to complete this exercise for a fictional company called XYZ electronics.\n\nWe would take a list of XYZ's customers and order them from most valueable to least valueable based on their history of purchase.  The number of products a customer has bought, the length they have been a customer and the profit margin of the products purchased would help us calculate the value of the company's customers.   Assuming an 80/20 rule (the pareto principle- 20% of customer drive 80% of value), we would be able to segment out the top 20% of XYZ electronic's customers.   \n\nWe would then analyze what was common for the top 20% relative to the non-20%.  Are they men?  Do they live nearby stores?   How old are they?  Based on this analysis, we may have identified its target market.\n\nIf XYZ electronics is a new store, we may want to do a general industry analysis and do the same exercise for entire electronics category.   Who buys the most electronics?  Who are the most valueable targets based on purchase needs and purchase ability.

Sorry to say but there is no such equation.Stock prices are not determined by applying equation of previous days high, low prices. If u want to know the price of any particular share, u have to study the company, its financials, its future strategies and all that. Only then u can guess in which direction the company's stock price will move. Beside this  other factors like ecomonic factors, market regulations etc also have effect on stock market. Eg. if govt put ban on export of sugar then all sugar exporting companies will be suffered and their stock prices come down despite the company is showing good results in past. So do some homework on companies to PREDICT their opening prices

Unfortunately there is no way to tell based on the information you have provided.  The critical additional information required is:\n - what is the quorum requirement (is it 50% or higher?)\n - do shareholders voting by proxy count towards the quorum amount?\n\nI imagine you were asking this question because you don't know these answers.  I would advise you to seek legal assistance, as the quorum requirements can be set through national or state legislation (and you haven't said which country you are from); but then can be modified by the constitution of the specific company.

Here's the method (do the calculations yourself).\n\nP(x) the price at which you can sell the quantity x\nR(x) = xP(x)  [we don't know the price yet, it depends on the unknown x]\nProfit = R(x) - C(x) = xP(x) - C(x)\n\nTo maximize the profit over x, work out its derivative with respect to x, equate it (the der.) to 0, and solve for x. That's the optimum (profit-maximizing) quantity.\n\nIf you also want to know the price and the maximum profit, put the x you've found into the formula for P(x) = ... . Finally, put this x into the formula for the profit: it is xP(x) - C(x) = ...

I presume you're talking about "Use of Proceeds"?  Usually when a company raises capital from a group of investors (from selling stock or bonds) they will include a chart listing how much is expected to be received and what it will be used for.  Here's an example:\n\nSource of Funds:\nSale of stock - $75 million\n\nUse of Proceeds:\nRepay bank loan - $45 million\nInvestment in new plant - $20 million\nFees and expenses - $5 million\nGeneral corporate purposes - $5 million\n\nTypically the "source of funds" is on the left side and the "use of proceeds" is on the right side.  Obviously, both sides must total the same amount.

Really depends on your definition of long term and what you think the company is worth now and in the future.  For tax purposes (in the US) long term is usually considered greater than one year.  When financial advisors talk about investing for the long term I think they usually mean 5-10 years or more.\n\nThe real answer, though, is that you need to somehow figure out what you think the company is worth and then decide whether the stock price is high, low, or about right.  Most people use numbers like the price-to-earnings ratio, cash flow, income, and debt ratios to figure out the health of a company.  The nice thing about these number is that they are all readily available at sites like Yahoo! Finance and they're quick and easy to use when comparing one firm to another.  The downside is that they only present a snapshot of the company and you have to use some common sense when deciding which ratios are most important.\n\nFor instance, looking at a retail company like Gap it's important to look at inventory turnover and same store sales figures along with some of the other information above to get a more complete picture of the firm.  But if you're looking at a software company like Microsoft you won't find same store sales (they have no stores) and the inventory numbers may not be as meaningful.\n\nIf you want to get more advanced you look at things like future cash flow predictions and net present value analysis and that sort of fun stuff to determine what you think the firm is worth and compare that to the stock price.

It's a perceptual notion of company's worth divided by total number of issued shares. company's worth is considered in terms of existing assets and what is it going to create in near future with the help of its vision, employees, customers and competitors...
