Answer:

P/E Ratio = 12x or 12 times

Explanation:

We know that the P/E ratio is calculated by dividing the price per share by the earnings per share or EPS.

P/E = Price per share / Earnings per share

We already have EPS. We need to calculate the price per share.

It is given that book value per share is $20 and the market to book ratio is 1.2x or 1.2 times. Using the formula for market to book ratio, we calculate the market price per share to be,

M/B = Market price per share / Book value per share

1.2 = Market price per share / 20

20 * 1.2 = Market price per share

Market price per share = $24

So, P/E ratio = 24 / 2

P/E Ratio = 12x or 12 times

Answer:

a tax-rate for 25% will make the investor be indifferent between there two bonds

Explanation:

The Municipal bonds are tax free. Therefore, do not pay the income tax for their interest.

We need to set and equation for the net yield of the bonds after tax, which equal the municipal bond:

debt after tax:

cost of debt ( 1 - t) = after-tax

we want to equalize 8% pre-tax with 6% after-tax

0.08 ( 1 - t ) = 0.06

t = 1 - 0.06/0.08 = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 = 25%

a tax-rate for 25% will make the investor be indifferent between there two bonds
