Explanation / Answer

A) Formula is good but answer is fomrated wrong. 11.565% B) Rate earned on stockholder's equity = Net Income / Total Stockholder's Equit 85,000 / (250,000 + 1,200,000 + 230,000)= 5.06% C) Looks good D) Earnings per share = Net Income - Perferred Dividends / Common Shares OUtstanind (85,000 - 25,000) / (1,200,000 / 25) = $1.25 E) Price-Earnings Ratio = Market Price / EPS $27 / $1.25 = $21.6 F) Shares of stock = 1,200,000 / 25 par = 48000 Dividends per share = 60,000 / 48,000 = 1.25 Dividend yield = 1.25 / 27 = 4.63%
