    How do I calculate the Price per share of a common stock using these variables?
    Sales = 10,000 units
    Sales Price per unit = $10
    Variable Cost per unit = $5
    Fixed Costs = $10,000
    Bonds Outstanding = 15,000
    Kd = on Outstanding Bonds = 8%
    Tax Rate = 40%
    Shares of Common Stock Outstanding = 10,000
    Beta = 1.4
    Krf = 5%
    RPm = 4%
    Dividend Payout Ratio = 60%
    Growth Rate = 8%

    I would like to know how the answer is derived. I have spent all day on this but I am missing something.
    Thanks,

    Understanding Price to Sales Ratio


    One ratio you can use is Price to Sales or P/S ratio. This metric looks at the current stock price relative to the total sales per share. You calculate the P/S by dividing the market cap of the stock by the total revenues of the company.

    You can also calculate the P/S by dividing the current stock price by the sales per share.

    P/S = Market Cap / Revenues
    or
    P/S = Stock Price / Sales Price Per Share

    Much like P/E, the P/S number reflects the value placed on sales by the market. The lower the P/S, the better the value, at least that's the conventional wisdom. However, this is definitely not a number you want to use in isolation. When dealing with a young company, there are many questions to answer and the P/S supplies just one answer.

    Is this homework? Sounds like it. You might try posting this on the homework forum -- real investing and finance homework are two different things:

    Excuse me? Are you talking to me? I believe I have just a few more posts here than you do. I did read everything in the thread.

    I was making a point that homework should go in the homework section, and that things in real life aren't necessarily the same as in a classroom setting. Somehow I think it is I who understands that concept better than you.

    You didn't even answer the question. You explained what price to sales is. The question was the price of the stock. It did not ask a ratio. And neither of your equations can even be solved with the given info. There is no P/S, market cap or stock price given in the problem.

    And you're telling me I should read before I post? Why don't you try doing the same?
