The firm has net profits of $12 million, sales of $165 million, and 3.0 million shares of common stock outstanding. The company has total assets of $80 million and total stockholders’ equity of $50 million. It pays $1 per share in common dividends, and the stock trades at $25 per share. Given this information, determine the following:

1. Monti’s EPS
2. Monti’s book value per share and price-to-book-value ratio
3. Monti’s P/E ratio
4. The company’s net profit margin
5. The stock’s dividend payout ratio and its dividend yield
6. The stock’s PEG ratio, given that the company’s earnings have been growing at an average annual rate of 7.5%

Answer 1

Solution :

Total Earning = $12 million

Number of shares = 3 million

Part A )

EPS = Earning / Shares = 12 million / 3 million = 4

Part B)

Book value per share = Book value of equity / Number of share = 50 million /3 million = $16.67

Price per book value = Price / book value per share = $25 / $16.67 = 1.5

Part C )

PE ratio = Price / EPS = $25 / $4 = 6.25

Part D )

Net profit margin = Net income / sales = $12 million / $165 million = 7.27%

Part E)

Dividend payout ratio = Dividend per share / EPS =1/ 4 = 25%

Dividend yield = Dividend / Share price = 1 /25 = 4%

Part F)

PEG ratio = PE ratio / Earning growth =  6.25 / 7.5 = 0.83
