The following information was taken from the financial statements of Tolbert Inc. for December 31 of the current fiscal year:
Common stock, $15 par value (no change during the year) | $3,600,000 |
Preferred $4 stock, $200 par (no change during the year) | 6,000,000 |
The net income was $792,000 and the declared dividends on the common stock were $60,000 for the current year. The market price of the common stock is $19.60 per share.
For the common stock, determine (a) the earnings per share, (b) the price-earnings ratio, (c) the dividends per share, and (d) the dividend yield. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.
a. Earnings per Share | $ | |
b. Price-Earnings Ratio | ||
c. Dividends per Share | $ | |
d. Dividend Yield | % |
Number of common stock = 3,600,000/ 15 = 240000
Number of preferred stock = 6000000/ 200 = 30000
Annual dividend on preferred stock = 30000* 4 = 120000
EPS = (net income – preferred dividend)/ number of common stock
= (792000 – 120000)/ 240000
= 672000/ 240000
= 2.8 per share
Price earnings ratio = price of stock/ EPS
= 19.60/ 2.8
= 7
Dividend per share = 60000/ 240000
= $ 0.25 per share
Dividend yield = dividend/ price per share
= 0.25/ 19.60
= 0.0128 or 1.28%
