Pricesales ratio  

Earnings per share $ Dividends per share $ Book value per share $

Explanation / Answer

retained earnings = net income - dividends

or, $6,38,000 = $703,000

EPS : NET INCOME/ NUMBER OF SHARES

= $703,000/ 700000

=1

EARNINGS PER SHARE IS EQUAL TO 1 PER SHARE.

DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

= DIVIDENDS / TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES

=$65,000/700,000

= 0.09

BOOK VALUE PER SHARE : EQUITY / NUMBER OF SHARES

= $7330000/7,00,000

= 10.47

IF THE SHARES SELL AT $30.30 PER SHARE,

MARKET/BOOK VALUE = 30.3/10.47

=2.89 TIMES

PRICE EARNINGS RATIO

30.3/1.004

=30.18 TIMES

PRICE TO SALES:

SALES PER SHARE :$10630000/700000

=15.1857

THEREOFRE, 30.3/15.1857

=1.99 TIMES
