Starbucks has 50,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, its net income is $51,750,000, and its P/E is 8. What is the company's stock price? What is its dividend payout ratio if it paid $0.70 per share?
EPS=Net income/Common stock outstanding
=51,750,000/50,000,000
=$1.035 per share
P/E ratio=stock price/EPS
Hence stock price=1.035*8
=$8.28
Dividend payout ratio=Dividend/Earnings per share
=(0.7/1.035)
=0.6763(or 67.63% approx)
