Assume that the current market price per share of common stock is $27. Present key figures used in your computations.



    ----------------------------------- current year preceding year
    current assets --------------------------- 735,000 ------------ 820,000

    property, plant, and equipment----------- 1,500,000--------- 1,400,000

    current liabilities
    (non interest bearing)---------------------- 150,000------------ 140,000


    Long-term liabilities------------------------ 400,000 ----------- 400,000

    preferred 10% stock---------------------- 250,000----------- 250,000

    common stock, $25 par----------------- 1,200,000---------- 1,200,000

    Retained earnings:
    Beginning of year------------------------ 230,000---------- 160,000

    Net inome for year----------------------- 85,000---------- 155,000

    Preferred dividends declared----------- (25,000)---------- (25,000)

    Common dividends declared----------- (60,000)--------- (60,000)


    a.) rate earned on total assets: 85,000/735,000=11565
    b.) rate earned on stockholders' equity: 85,000/400,000=2125
    c.) rate earned on common stockholders' equity= 85,000-(25,000)/1,200,000=.05
    d.) earnings per share on common stock: 85,000-(25,000)/$25=2,400
    e.)price-earnings ratio on common stock: 25/27=.92
    f.) dividend yield on common stock=(60,000)/$27=2222


    Is this correct if not please help me.
    Thanks,

    a)
    formula is good but answer is fomrated wrong. 11.565%

    b)
    Rate earned on stockholder's equity = Net Income / Total Stockholder's Equit
    85,000 / (250,000 + 1,200,000 + 230,000)= 5.06%

    c)
    Looks good

    d)
    Earnings per share = Net Income - Perferred Dividends / Common Shares OUtstanind
    (85,000 - 25,000) / (1,200,000 / 25) = $1.25

    e)
    Price-Earnings Ratio = Market Price / EPS
    $27 / $1.25 = $21.6

    f)
    Shares of stock = 1,200,000 / 25 par = 48000
    Dividends per share = 60,000 / 48,000 = 1.25
    Dividend yield = 1.25 / 27 = 4.63%
