Answer:
1. The Return on equity is 3.6%
2. The Dividend yield is 2.08%
3. The Earnings per share is $0.40
4. The Price-earnings ratio is 14.50
Explanation:
1. In order to calculate the Return on equity we would have to use the following formula:
Return on equity=Net Income/Average Equity
Average Equity= $240,150 + $225,450= $465,600
Return on equity=$16,800/$465,600
Return on equity= 3.6%
2. In order to calculate the Dividend yield we would have to use the following formula:
Dividend yield= Dividend per share/Average Stock price
Dividend per share= 4,960/41000=$0.1209
Dividend yield=$0.1209/$5.80=2.08%
3. In order to calculate the Earnings per share we would have to use the following formula:
Earnings per share= Net Income/Shares Outstanding
Earnings per share=16,800/41,000=$0.40
4. In order to calculate the Price-earnings ratio we would have to use the following formula:
Price-earnings ratio=Average Stock Price/EPS
Price-earnings ratio=$5.80/$0.40=14.50
