Explanation / Answer

Stock price = 73

Number of shares 40,000

Total assests 76,00,000

Total liability 22,00,000

Part A - Calculation of book value

Current book value = Total assests - Total liability / Number of outstanding shares

                            = 76,00,000-22,00,000 / 40,000

                            = 135 per share

New book value = Total assets + New investment - Total Liability / Number of outstanding shares + New shares

                        = 76,00,000 + 8,00,000 - 22,00,000 / 40,000+ 10.958 (8,00,000/73)

                        = 62,00,000 / 50,958

                        = 121.66

Part C - EPS calculation

Current EPS ratio = Net Income / Number of shares

                           = 4,40,000 / 40,000

                           = 11 per share

New EPS ratio = Net income / Existing shares + Newly issued shares

                      = 4,40,000 / 40,000 + 10,958

                      = 8.63 per share

Part B - Current market to book ratio

Current P/E ratio = Market price / earning per share

                          = 73 / 11 (4,40,000/40,000)

                          = 6.63

New P/E ratio = 6.63 ( Same as current P/E ratio as given in question)

New market price share = New EPS * P/E ratio

                                   = 8.63 * 6.63

                                   = 57.21

Current market to book ratio = Current market price / Book price per share

                                          = 73 / 135

                                          = 0.54

New Current market to book ratio = New current market price / Book price per share

                                                 = 57.21 / 121.66

                                                 = 0.47

Part D Caluculation of NPV of project

Return on investment = Net return / Capital employed * 100

                                = 4,40,000 / 54,00,000 * 100

                                = 8.14%

NPV of the project = 8,00,000 * 8.14%

                           = 65,120
