Answer to Part a.
Net Income = Addition to Retained Earnings + Dividends
Net Income = $627,000 + $120,000
Net Income = $747,000
Earnings per Share = Net Income / Common Stock Outstanding
Earnings per Share = $747,000 / 590,000
Earnings per Share = $1.27
Dividend per Share = Dividend Paid / Common Stock
Outstanding
Dividend per Share = $120,000 / 590,000
Dividend per Share = $0.20
Book Value per Share = Total Equity / Common Stock
Outstanding
Book Value per Share = $7,220,000 / 590,000
Book Value per Share = $12.24
Answer to Part b.
Market to Book Ratio = Market Price per Share / Book Value per
share
Market to Book Ratio = $29.20 / $12.24
Market to Book Ratio = 2.39
Price- Earnings per Share = Market price per Share / Earnings
per Share
Price- Earnings per Share = $29.20 / $1.27
Price- Earnings per Share = 22.99 times
Answer to Part c.
Sales per Share = Total Sales / Common Stock Outstanding
Sales per Share = $10,520,000 / 590,000
Sales per Share = $17.83
Price – Sales Ratio = Market price per Share / Sales per
Share
Price – Sales Ratio = $29.20 / $17.83
Price – Sales Ratio = 1.64
