What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

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
