Find the EPS, P/E ratio, and dividend yield of a company that has 5 million shares of common stock outstanding (the shares trade in the market at $28.29), earns 8% after taxes on annual sales of $158 million, and has a dividend payout ratio of 27.03%. At what rate would the company's net earnings be growing if the stock had a PEG ratio of 1.86?
The stock's EPS is $____
Answer : Calculation of EPS
EPS = Earning Available to equity shareholders / Total Number os shares outstanding
= (Annual Sales * After Tax Profit) / 5 million
= (158 million * 8%) / 5 million
= 12.64 million / 5 million
= 2.528
Calculation of Price Earning Ratio (P/E Ratio) = Price / EPS
= 28.29 / 2.528
= 11.1906645569 or 11.19
Calculation of Dividend Yield = Dividend / Current Market Price
= (2.528 * 27.03%) / 28.29
= 0.6833184 / 28.29
= 0.0241540615 or 2.42%
Calculation of Growth in Earning
PEG Ratio = Price Earning Ratio (calculated above) / Earning Growth rate
Earning Growth rate = 11.19 / 1.86
= 6.01648632091% or 6.02%
