The P/E ratio is used to value a company by comparing its share price to earnings per share.
P/E ratio= market value of shares/ earnings per share
For company B
P/E ratio= 30/2= $15
Using company B's P/E ratio as a benchmark for company A
If workers demand and receive higher real wages the cost of production will rise. This is because workers(labor) is an input of production. The wages is the reward for the direct labor for work done. So increase in wages lead to an increase cost of production.
Due to this, the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts leftward i.e reduces the market supply because producers will produce less at a high cost of production and produce more at a lower cost of production.
When a bond that is bought at a premium of 205 is called before the bond matures by the issuer, this implies that the accelerated premium loss will have to be reflected in calculated yield to maturity.
It should also be noted that the YTC is the lowest among the yields for the premium bonds. Therefore, if the issuer calls the bond before maturity, the yield to call (YTC) realized by the investor would be less than the coupon.
