Given the following data (in millions of dollars): contributed capital in excess of par,
$70; depreciation expense, $13; interest expense, $10; earnings after taxes, $32;
common stock ($1 par), $8; earnings before interest and taxes, $50; fixed assets, $73;
retained earnings, $82. The common stock price is $56. Compute the numerical
values of net fixed assets, earnings per share, price-earnings ratio, interest coverage
ratio, book value per share, and after-tax cash flow.
1. values of net fixed assets = Fixed Assets - Depreciation
values of net fixed assets = 73 - 13
values of net fixed assets = $60
2. earnings per share = Earnings after tax / Shares O/s
earnings per share = 32 / 8
earnings per share = $4 per share
3. price-earnings ratio = Market price / Earnings per share = $56 / 4 = 14 times
4. interest coverage ratio = EBIT / Interest Expenses = 50 / 10 = 5 times
5. book value per share = (Common stock + retained earnings + contributed capital in excess of par) / Shares O/s
5. book value per share = (8 + 82 + 70) / 8
book value per share = $20 per share
6. after-tax cash flow = Earnings after tax + depreciation
after-tax cash flow = 32 + 13
after-tax cash flow = $45
