Answer 1

Answer:

(A) Earnings per share = $1.19 per share, Dividends per share = $0.17 per share, and book value per share is $11.69 per share

(B) Market-to-book ratio = 2.52 times, and the price-earnings ratio is 24.79 times

(C) Price-sales ratio is 1.73 times

Explanation:

(A) Earning per share = (Net income) ÷ (Number of shares)

where,

Net income = Retained earnings + dividend paid

                   = $630,000 + $105,000

                   = $735,000

And, the number of shares are 620,000 shares

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= ($735,000) ÷ (620,000 shares)

= $1.19 per share

Dividend per share = (Total dividend) ÷ (number of shares)

                                 = ($105,000) ÷ (620,000 shares)

                                 = $0.17 per share

Book value per share = (Total equity) ÷  (number of shares)

                                     = $7,250,000 ÷  (620,000 shares)

                                     = $11.69 per share

(B) Market to book ratio  = (Market price per share) ÷ (book value per share)

= $29.50 ÷ $11.69

= 2.52 times

Price-earnings ratio = (Market price per share) ÷ (Earning per share)

                                  = $29.50 ÷ $1.19

                                  = 24.79 times

(C) Price sales ratio = (Market price per share) ÷ (Total sales per share)

where,

Total sales per share = (total sales) ÷ (Number of shares)

                                   = (10,550,000) ÷ (620,000 shares)

                                   = $17.01 per share

So, the price sales ratio = $29.50 ÷ $17.01

                                        = 1.73 times
