Respuesta :

Answer:

Price-Earnings Ratio = 7

Explanation:

Income available to common share holders:

= Net Income - Preference Dividend

= $1,940,000 - $0

= $1,940,000

Weighted Average no. of shares = 242,500 shares

Earning Per Share (EPS):

= Income available to common share holders ÷ Weighted average no of shares

= $1,940,000 ÷ 242,500

= $8 per share

Market Price per Share (MPS) = $56

Price-Earnings Ratio = MPS ÷ EPS

                                  = $56 ÷ $8

                                  = 7
