c. What is the ratio of market value per share to book value per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
  

  

Explanation / Answer

Answer a.

Book Value of Common Stock = Total Assets - Current Liabilities - Long-term Liabilities - Value of Preferred Stock
Book Value of Common Stock = $460,000 - $56,000 - $154,000 - $38,000
Book Value of Common Stock = $212,000

Book Value per share = Book Value of Common Stock / Number of common stock outstanding
Book Value per share = $212,000 / 20,000
Book Value per share = $10.60

Answer b.

Earnings per share = Earnings available to common stockholders / Number of common stock outstanding
Earnings per share = $27,600 / 20,000
Earnings per share = $1.38

Market Price per share = Earnings per share * P/E Ratio
Market Price per share = $1.38 * 21
Market Price per share = $28.98

Answer c.

Market to Book Value = Market Price per share / Book Value per share
Market to Book Value = $28.98 / $10.60
Market to Book Value = 2.73
