Answer:
The EPS is approximately:
it can be any of them:
- if preferred dividends = $4,800,000, then EPS = $0.40 (option A)
- if preferred dividends = $720,000, then EPS = $1.76 (option B)
- if preferred dividends = $0, then EPS = $2 (option D)
EPS = (net income - preferred dividends) / outstanding shares = ($6,000,000 - preferred dividends) / 3,000,000 shares
The Price/Earnings ratio is approximately:
- if EPS = $0.40, then PE ratio = 12.5 (option D)
- if EPS = $1.76, then PE ratio = 2.84 (option C)
- if EPS = $2, then PE ratio = 2.5 (option B)
Price/earnings (PE) ratio = share price / EPS = $5 / EPS
EPS cannot be $1.80, since PE ratio = 2.78 and that is not an option.
Some companies have a higher share price for the same level of earnings. Why?
Some stocks like Amazon have a very low EPS, form any years its EPS was very low bu its stock price kept rising. The stock price is based mostly on potential future earnings, not current earnings. A company that is being liquidated might have a high EPS, but a very low stock price since it will stop operating soon.

Model P-4 requires 30 minutes of machine time.
A machine hour consists of 60 minutes
Calculating the machine time of Model P-4 in terms of percent of machine hour:
