Answer:

a. $12.08 per share

Explanation:

For computing the next year stock we have to do the following calculations  

Current Earning per share  = Net Income ÷ Number of Common Shares Outstanding

= $9,750,000 ÷ 5,500,000 shares  

= $1.77

Current Price Earning ratio = Current stock price ÷  Current EPS

= $14.74 ÷ $1.77

= 8.33

Now Next year earning per share = $9,750,000 ×  1.25 ÷ 8,400,000 shares = $1.45

So, the next year stock price = $1.45 x 8.33

= $12.08 per share

Which sentence does not control exuberance?
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The matter was handled really unfairly

Explanation:

Exuberance in a statement are usually identified by the use of the words - really and completely.

These words tend to give an expression of making excess effort in doing something. So exuberance is not controlled.

Overuse of intensifiers in a sentence shows exuberance and this is not ideal in business communication.

Various intensifiers include - very, definitely, really, actually, totally, extremely, and completely.
