A corporation reported net income of $2,730,000 and paid preferred cash dividends of $120,000 during the current year. There were 600,000 weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding and the market price per common share at year-end was $58.30. Calculate the company's price-earnings ratio.
What will be an ideal response?
Price-Earnings Ratio = Market Price per Share/ [(Net Income - Preferred Dividends)/Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding]
Price-Earnings Ratio = $58.30/ [($2,730,000 - $120,000)/600,000 shares] = 13.4

Elin works for Form Molding Company. Near her workstation is a conveyor belt that runs through a large industrial oven. Some workers, including Greg, Elin's supervisor, use the oven to heat food. Thirty-inch-high flasks containing molds are fixed at regular intervals on the conveyor and transported into the oven. Elin walks between the flasks to get to her workstation. One day, when the conveyor is not moving, Elin uses the oven to cook a frozen potpie. As she removes the pie from the oven, the conveyor comes on. One of the flasks strikes Elin, seriously injuring her. Elin seeks recovery under the state workers' compensation law. Should she recover? Why or why not?
