Explanation / Answer
1) a) Firms tend to repurchase shares of their outstanding stock when they view the shares as undervalued.
2) c) if one share is offered for 10 shares, then for 1000, 100 shares would be offered for $15 per share.
3) Book value per share = Total equity / Number of shares outstading.
Total equity = $10.8 million
Book value per share = $10.8 / 0.25 = $43.2 per share.
4) neither the purchaser nor you would not receive any dividends.
5) Dividend yield = Dividend per share / Price per share = $1.00 / $25 = 0.04 or 4%
Dividend payout ratio = Dividend per share / Earnings per share = $1.00 / $3.00 = 33%
The correct option is C) 4%, 33%
6) E
7) C
8) ROA = Profit margin X Total asset turnover ratio = (Net income / sales) X 2.5
= ($23,000 / $640,000) X 2.5 = 0.0898 or 8.9%
9) Sales after 2 years = $350,000 X (1.05)^2 = $385,875
Profit margin = Net income / Sales
6% = Net income / $385,875
Net income = $23,152.5
The correct option is D) $23,153
