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

= $34,923 ÷ $16,000 = 2.18 (rounded)

 

b.

Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities ÷ Stockholders' equity

= $467,000 ÷ $1,066,000 = 0.44 (rounded)

 

c.

Equity multiplier = Average total assets* ÷ Average stockholders' equity*

= $1,521,500÷$1,063,000 = 1.43 (rounded)

*Average total assets = ($1,533,000 + $1,510,000) ÷ 2 = $1,521,500

**Average stockholders' equity = ($1,066,000 + $1,060,000) ÷ 2 = $1,063,000

 

d.

Earnings per share = Net Income ÷ Average number of common shares outstanding*

= $12,300 ÷ 70,000 shares = $0.18 per share (rounded)

*Number of common shares outstanding = Common stock ÷ Par value

= $210,000 ÷ $3 per share = 70,000 shares

 

e.

Price-earnings ratio = Market price per share ÷ Earnings per share

= $1.78 ÷ $0.18 = 9.89 (rounded)

 

f.

Dividend payout ratio = Dividends per share* ÷ Earnings per share

= $0.09 ÷ $0.18 = 50.0% (rounded)

*Dividends per share = Common dividends ÷ Common shares (see above)

= $6,300 ÷ 70,000 shares = $0.09 per share (rounded)

 

g.

Dividend yield ratio = Dividends per share* ÷ Market price per share

= $0.09 ÷ $1.78 = 5.06% (rounded)

*Dividends per share = Common dividends ÷ Common shares (see above)

= $6,300 ÷ 70,000 shares = $0.09 per share (rounded)

 

h.

Book value per share = Common stockholders' equity ÷ Number of common shares outstanding*

= $1,066,000 ÷ 70,000 shares = $15.23 per share (rounded)

*Number of common shares outstanding = Common stock ÷ Par value

= $210,000 ÷ $3 per share = 70,000 shares
