Five Measures of Solvency or Profitability
The balance sheet for Garcon Inc. at the end of the current fiscal year indicated the following:
Income before income tax was $420,000, and income taxes were $62,950, for the current year. Cash dividends paid on common stock during the current year totaled $47,285. The common stock was selling for $140 per share at the end of the year.
Determine each of the following. Round answers to one decimal place, except for dollar amounts which should be rounded to the nearest whole cent. Use the rounded answers for subsequent requirements, if required.
Bonds payable, 10% $1,500,000 Preferred $5 stock, $100 par 386,000 Common stock, $5 par 84,437.5Explanation / Answer
a. Times interest earned ratio = Operating profit / Interest
Operating profit = $420,000 + $1,500,000 x 10% = $570,000
Times interest earned ratio = $570,000 / $1,500,000 x 10% = 3.8 times
b. Earnings per share on common stock = (Net Income - Preferred Dividend) / No. of common stock
Net Income = $420,000 - $62,950 = $357,050
No. of preferred share = $386,000/$100 = 3,860
Preferred Dividend = 3,860 x $5 = $19,300
No. of common stock = $84,437.5 / $5 = 16,887.50
Earnings per share on common stock = ($357,050 - $19,300) / 16,887.50 = $20.00
c. Price-earnings ratio = MPS/EPS = $140 / $20 = 7 times
d. Dividends per share of common stock = Dividend / No. of common stock
= $47,285 / 16,887.50 = $2.80 per share
e. Dividend yield = DPS/ MPS = $2.80 / $140 = 2.00%
