Answer to Part a.
Market Capitalization = Market Price per Share * Shares
Outstanding
Market Capitalization = $29.36 * 9.6 Billion
Market Capitalization = $281.856 Billion
Market to Book ratio = Market Capitalization / Book Value of
Equity
Market to Book ratio = $281.856 / $98.5
Market to Book ratio = 2.86 times
Answer to Part b.
Book Debt- Equity Ratio = Book Value of Debt / Book Value of
Equity
Book Debt- Equity Ratio = $196.30 / $98.50
Book Debt- Equity Ratio = 1.99
times
Market Debt – Equity Ratio = Value of Debt / Market
Capitalization
Market Debt – Equity Ratio = $196.30 / $281.856
Market Debt – Equity Ratio = 0.70 times
Answer to Part c.
Enterprises Value = Market Capitalization + Debt – Cash
Enterprises Value = $281.856 Billion + $196.3 Billion - $103.6
Billion
Enterprises Value = $374.556 Billion
