Answer:
Book value per share is $3.5, Earnings per share is $0.48, Market-to-book ratio is 2.0x; P/E ratio = 18.75
Explanation:
1. In order to calculate the book value of the shares we divide the total value of the shares by the number of shares which is $35,000,000/10,000,000 shares = $3.5
2. Earnings per share is derived by dividing the total earnings (after subtracting preference dividends, but in this case we have common stock dividend so we do not subtract) by the number of shares outstanding. i.e. $4,800,000 / 10,000,000 shares = $0.48
3. Market to book ratio is derived by dividing the market value of the outstanding shares by its book value. Therefore ($9*10,000,000 shares)/$35,000,000 = 2.0 (written as 2.0x, implying that the market value of the shares of Roxie's Bed & Breakfast Corp. can cover its net assets (or equity) twice.)
4.The Price Earnings ratio is derived by dividing the Price of the shares by the earnings per share.i.e. $9/0.48(derived in 2 above) = 18.75.

Answer: The answer is b. Reduce output in the short run.
Explanation: In production, to determine the quantity of products to supply, the demand of the consumer plays a very vital role. This is because the consumer demand will determine the price at which a company will sell its products.
In the case of Techno above, they would do well to reduce the output in the short run, since demand has reduced, pending when the demand increases. This is because if they maintain their current output of 3000 TV sets per week, they will sell less units and their revenue (price x quantity sold) will be lower than their cost and this will lead to them incurring loss.
So until the recession scare passes, output should be reduced in the short run.
