<u>Answer:</u>

BEP = EBIT / Total Assets

BEP = $2,451 / $43,000 = 0.057

Profit Margin = Net Profit / Sales

Profit Margin = $990 / $51,600 = 0.0192

Operating Margin = Operating Profit / Sales

Operating Margin = $2,451 / $51,600 = 0.0475

Dividends per share = Dividend paid to Shareholders / Number of shares outstanding

Dividends per share = $346.67 / $500 = 0.69334

EPS = Net Income available to Shareholders / Number of shares outstanding

EPS = $990 / $500 = $1.98

P/E ratio = Market price per share / EPS

P/E ratio = $23.7 / 1.98 = 11.97

Book value per share = Shareholders Equity / Shares outstanding

Book value per share = $15,265 / $500 = $30.53

Market-to-book ratio = Market Value per share / Book value per share

Market-to-book ratio = $23.7 / S30.53 = 0.7763

Equity Multiplier = Total Assets / Shareholders Equity

Equity Multiplier = $43,000 / $15,265 = 2.82
