Explanation / Answer

a) Firm's DPS = $2.44

Calculation:-

            DPS= Total dividend distributed/ Total number of shares

                        = $61 million/ 25 million

                        =$2.44

b) Basic EPS= $3.08

Calculation:-

Basic EPS= Total earning for common share holder/ Total common shares

            = $77 million/ 25 million

            =$3.08

c)Diluted EPS= $2.70

Calculation:-

Diluted EPS= Total earning for common share holder/ Total common shares after taking effect of dilution

            = $77million/ 28.5 million

            =$2.70

d)Firm operating margin= 10.71%

Calculation:-

Operating margin= Operating income(EBIT)/Sales i.e. Total revenue

                                    =150 million/1400 million

                                    =10.71%

e) Firm's net profit margin = 5.5%

Calculation:-

Net profit margin = Net income/ Total revenue

                                    = 77 million/ 1400 million

                                    =5.5%
