Return on Common Stock

Earning Per Share

Price Earning Ratio

Payout Ratio

Answer 1

Return on Common Stockholders’ Equity:

Average Common Stockholders’ Equity = ($373,200 + $348,000) / 2
Average Common Stockholders’ Equity = $360,600

Return on Common Stockholders’ Equity = Net Income / Average Common Stockholders’ Equity
Return on Common Stockholders’ Equity = $40,300 / $360,600
Return on Common Stockholders’ Equity = 11.18%

Earnings per share:

Number of Shares outstanding = Common Stock / Par Value
Number of Shares outstanding = $145,600 / $5
Number of Shares outstanding = 29,120

Earnings per share = Net Income / Number of Shares outstanding
Earnings per share = $40,300 / 29,120
Earnings per share = $1.38

Price Earnings Ratio:

Price Earnings Ratio = Market Price per share / Earnings per share
Price Earnings Ratio = $18.25 / $1.38
Price Earnings Ratio = 13.22

Payout Ratio:

Dividend = Retained Earnings, 2016 + Net Income - Retained Earnings, 2017
Dividend = $202,400 + $40,300 - $227,600
Dividend = $15,100

Payout Ratio = Dividend / Net Income
Payout Ratio = $15,100 / $40,300
Payout Ratio = 37.47%
