What if the price-sales ratio were 3.6? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer 1

Answer:

a. $69.46

b. 58.15

Explanation:

a. Price = Benchmark PS ratio × Sales per share

Sales per Share

=  Sales / Shares outstanding

= 2,100,000/130,000

= $16.15

Price = 4.3 * 16.15

Price = $69.46

b. PS Ratio is 3.6

Price = Benchmark PS ratio × Sales per share

Price = 3.6 * 16.15

Price = $58.15
