Answer:
The Price-earnings ratio is 14.88 (to two decimal places)
Explanation:
The Price-earnings ratio (P/E ratio) is a measure of the relationship between a company's stock price and its earning per share of issued stock. Mathematically, P/E ratio is calculated by dividing a company's current stock price by its earnings per share:
P/E ratio = current stock price ÷ earnings per share
current stock price = $59 per share
Earning per share = ???
Next we are going to calculate the earnings per share (EPS) by using the following formula:
EPS = (net income - dividend paid) ÷ (number of shares outstanding)
EPS = (275,132 - 48,300) ÷ (57,200)
EPS = 3.966
∴ P/E ratio = current stock price ÷ Earning per share (EPS)
P/E ratio = 59 ÷ 3.966 = 14.876 = 14.88 (to two decimal places)
