Answer:

a. The Earnings per share is $3.87

b. The Price-earnings ratio is 3.87 times

c. The Payout ratio is 12.21%

d. The Times interest earned is 10.32

Explanation:

a. The Earnings per share would be calculated as follows:

Earnings per share = (Net income – Preferred stock dividend)/Average number of common shares outstanding

We need to use the formula of the Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding to calculate the Preferred stock dividend.

Therefore, Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding = (Number of common shares outstanding in the beginning + Number of common shares outstanding in the end)/2

= (27,600 + 36,700)/2

= 32,150

Preferred stock dividend = $6,700

Therefore, Earnings per share= (131,100 – 6,700)/32,150

= 124,400/42,150

= $3.87

b. The Price-earnings ratio would be calculated as follows:

Price - earning ratio = Market price per share / Earning per share

= $15 / $3.87 = 3.87 times

c. The Payout ratio would be calculated as follows:

Payout ratio = (Total cash dividends - Preferred stock dividends) / Net income

= ($22,700 - $6,700) / $131,000 = 12.21 %

d. Times interest earned would be calculated as follows:

Times interest earned = (Net income + Interest expense + Tax expense)/Interest expense

= (131,100 + 16,700 + 24,600)/16,700

= 10.32 times
