Solutions

Expert Solution

1. The amount is computed as follows:

= (DSO x Sales) / 365 days

= (27 x $ 6,200,000) / 365

= $ 458,630

2. Return on equity is computed as follows:

= profit margin x Equity multiplier x Sales / Total Assets

= 0.025 x 2 x $ 120 million / $ 30 million

= 20.00%

3. Price is computed as follows:

= Market to book ratio x book value per share

book value per share is computed as follows:

= Shareholder's Equity / Number of shares outstanding

= $ 1,588,000 / 66,000

= $ 24.06060606

So, the price will be as follows:

= 1.9 x $ 24.06060606

= $ 45.72 Approximately
