Answer:
a.
Price / Earnings <u>7.04</u> times
b.
Price / Earnings <u>7.14</u> times
c.
Price / Earnings <u>7.14</u> times
Explanation:
a.
Earning = $961,000
Rate of return = 14%
PV of Perpetuity = Cash flow / rate of return
PV of Perpetuity = $961,000 / 0.14 = $6,864,286
As we know that Price is the Present value of future cash flows which is perpetuity of $6,764,286.
Price Earning Ratio = $6,764,286/ $961,000 = 7.04 times
b.
Earning = $961,000 + $111,000 = $1,072,000
Rate of return = 14%
PV of Perpetuity = Cash flow / rate of return
PV of Perpetuity = $1,072,000 / 0.14 = $7,657,143
As we know that Price is the Present value of future cash flows which is perpetuity of $7,657,143.
Price Earning Ratio = $7,657,143/ $1,072,000 = 7.14 times
c.
Earning = $961,000 + $211,000 = $1,172,000
Rate of return = 14%
PV of Perpetuity = Cash flow / rate of return
PV of Perpetuity = $1,172,000 / 0.14 = $8,371,429
As we know that Price is the Present value of future cash flows which is perpetuity of $6,764,286.
Price Earning Ratio = $8,371,429 / $1,172,000 = 7.14 times
