Answer:

Option (d) 7 times

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Net income = $250,000

Dividends paid to common stockholders = $50,000

Common stock outstanding = 50,000

Selling price of the common stocks = $35

Now,

The price-earnings ratio is calculated as:

⇒ ( Stock price ) ÷ ( Earnings per share )

also,

Earnings per share = ( Net income ) ÷ ( common stock outstanding )

= $250,000 ÷ 50,000

= $5

or

Price-earnings ratio = $35 ÷ $5

or

Price-earnings ratio = 7 times

Option (d) 7 times

You are scheduled to receive a $500 cash flow in one year, a $1,000 cash flow in two years, and pay an $800 payment in three yea
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

present value = $9320.06

Explanation:

given data

cash flow 1 year C1 = $500

cash flow 2 year C2 = $1000

pay 3 year C3  = $800

interest rates  r = 10 percent per year = 0.10

solution

we get here present value that is

present value = \frac{C1}{(1+r)} +\frac{C2}{(1+r)^2} +\frac{C3}{(1+r)^3}   ....................1

put here value and we will get

present value =  \frac{500}{(1+0.10)} +\frac{10000}{(1+0.10)^2} +\frac{800}{(1+0.10)^3}

present value = $9320.06
