Round answers to one decimal place.

Price-earnings ratio:

Dividend yield:

Answer 1

Current Price per share = $62.25
EPS = $4.55

Price-earnings Ratio = Current Price per share / EPS
Price-earnings Ratio = $62.25 / $4.55
Price-earnings Ratio = 13.9

Current Price per share = $62.25
Dividend = $3,400,000
Number of shares outstanding = 2,000,000

Dividend per share = Dividend / Number of shares outstanding
Dividend per share = $3,400,000 / 2,000,000
Dividend per share = $1.70

Dividend Yield = Dividend per share / Current Price per share
Dividend Yield = $1.70 / $62.25
Dividend Yield = 0.027 = 2.7%
