All dividends for the year have been paid, including $4.90 per share to common stockholders. Required Compute the earnings per share. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Compute the book value per share of common stock. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Compute the price-earnings ratio. (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.) Compute the dividend yield.
1) Earnings per share = Earnings available for common stockholders/No. of common stock
Earnings available for Common Stockholders = Net Income after tax - Preferred dividends
Preferred Dividends = (9,920 shares*$100)*8% = $79,360
Earnings available for Common Stockholders = $3,580,000 - $79,360 = $3,500,640
Earnings per share = $3,500,640/399,000 shares = $8.77 per share
2) Common Stockholders Equity = Total Stockholder's Equity - Preferred Stockholder Equity
= $20,000,000 - $992,000 = $19,008,000
Book value per share of common stock = Common Stockholder's Equity/No. of common stock
= $19,008,000/399,000 = $47.64 per share
3) Price Earnings Ratio = Market price per share/Earnings per share
= $52/$47.64 = 1.09
4) Dividend yield = Annual dividend/Market Price per share
= $4.90/$52 = 9.42%
