Explanation / Answer
Earning per share = Net income attributable to equity shareholders * / Weighted average shares outstanding
= 4620*1000/870000 = 5.31
Price Earning Ratio = Market price / EPS = 21.50 / 5.31 = 4.05 times
Dividend Payout Ratio = Dividends Paid / Net income available for distribution = 348/4620 = 7.5325%
Dividend Yield Ratio = Dividend Per share / Current Market price
Dividend per share = 348000 / 870000 = 0.40 Per share
Dividend Yield = 0.40 / 21.50 = 1.86%
Book Value per share = Total Stockholder Equity / No of shares
= 37052 * 1000 / 870000 = 42.58
