What is thecompany's dividend yield ratio for Year 2?h. What is the company's book value per share at the end of Year 2?
What will be an ideal response?
a.
Times interest earned ratio = Earnings before interest expense and income taxes ÷ Interest expense
= $62,308 ÷ $12,000 = 5.19 (rounded)
b.
Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities ÷ Stockholders' equity
= $356,000 ÷ $930,000 = 0.38 (rounded)
c.
Equity multiplier = Average total assets* ÷ Average stockholders' equity**
= $1,263,000 ÷ $915,000 = 1.38 (rounded)
*Average total assets = ($1,286,000 + $1,240,000) ÷ 2 = $1,263,000
**Average stockholders' equity = ($930,000 + $900,000) ÷ 2 = $915,000
d.
Earnings per share = Net Income ÷ Average number of common shares outstanding*
= $32,700 ÷ 90,000 shares = $0.36 per share (rounded)
*Number of common shares outstanding = Common stock ÷ Par value
= $270,000 ÷ $3 per share = 90,000 shares
e.
Price-earnings ratio = Market price per share ÷ Earnings per share
= $6.37 ÷ $0.36 = 17.69 (rounded)
f.
Dividend payout ratio = Dividends per share* ÷ Earnings per share
= $0.03 ÷ $0.36 = 8.3% (rounded)
*Dividends per share = Common dividends ÷ Common shares (see above)
= $2,700 ÷ 90,000 shares = $0.03 per share (rounded)
g.
Dividend yield ratio = Dividends per share* ÷ Market price per share
= $0.03 ÷ $6.37 = 0.47% (rounded)
*Dividends per share = Common dividends ÷ Common shares (see above)
= $2,700 ÷ 90,000 shares = $0.03 per share (rounded)
h.
Book value per share = Common stockholders' equity ÷ Number of common shares outstanding*
= $930,000 ÷ 90,000 shares = $10.33 per share (rounded)
*Number of common shares outstanding = Common stock ÷ Par value
= $270,000 ÷ $3 per share =90,000 shares
