Explanation / Answer

e) Price-arnings ratio = Market Value per Share / Earnings per Share
= $50 / ($57,385/4,990)
= 4.35 times

f) Rate of return on total asset = Operating income / Average total assets
= [$95,500 / {($103,800+$62,000) +($72,040+$38,000)}/2]
= $95,500/$137,920
= 69.24%

g) Times-interest-earned ratio = Income before interest and taxes / Interest expenses
= $95,500 / $23500 = 4.06 times

h) Current ratio = Current assets / current liabilities
=  $103,800 / $46,000
= 2.26 times
