The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "A) The total net housing wealth is equal to about 80 percent of GDP." The statements about the U.S. housing industry is accurate is this one '<span>The total net housing wealth is equal to about 80 percent of GDP.'</span>
Answer:
Earnings per share
= <u>Net income - Preferred dividend </u>
No of common stocks outstanding
= <u>$1,500,000 - 0</u>
1,000,000 shares
= $1.50 per share
P/E ratio = <u>Market price per share</u>
Earnings per share
15 = <u>Market price per share</u>
$1.50
Market price per share = 15 x $1.50
= $22.50
Explanation:
In this question, there is need to calculate earnings per share by dividing net income by number of common stocks outstanding. Thereafter, we will apply P/E ratio formula, where P/E ratio and earnings per share are known. We will make market price per share the subject of the formula.
Where are the answers? Don't have much to work with...
(A) Debt ratio = 0.32
Debt/(debt + equity)= 0.32
Debt = 0.32 *Debt + 0.32 *Equity
0.68* Debt = 0.32* Equity
Debt = 0.32*Equity/0.68 = 0.32/0.68 * Equity
Debt /equity ratio = (0.32/068*Equity)/Equity
Debt/Equity ratio = 0.32/0.68 = 0.47
Debt-equity ratio = 0.47 (Rounded to 2 decimals)
(B) Equity multiplier = 1 + debt -equity = 1+0.47 = 1.47
Equity multiplier = 1.47 (Rounded to 2 decimals)
