Question

The following information pertains to Newman Company. Assume that all balance sheet amounts represent both average and ending balance figures. Assume that all sales were on credit. Assets Cash and short-term investments $ 40,000 Accounts receivable (net) 30,000 Inventory 25,000 Property, plant and equipment 215,000 Total Assets $310,000 Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity Current liabilities 60,000 Long-term liabilities 95,000 Stockholders’ equity-common 155,000 Total Liabilities and stockholders’ equity $310,000 Income Statement Sales $ 90,000 Cost of goods sold 45,000 Gross margin 45,000 Operating expenses 20,000 Net income $ 25,000 Number of shares of common stock 6,000000 Market price of common stock $40 Dividends per share 1.00 Cash provided by operations $40,000 What is the price earnings ratio for this company? A. 6.0 times B. 4.2 times C. 8.0 times D. 9.6 times

Explanation / Answer

P/E Ratio = Market Price of the stock/EPS(Earnings per Share)

Market Price of the stock=40

I think There is a mistake in question. Hence I am Taking No of shares of common stock as 6000

EPS=25000/6000=4.16666666666667

P/E Ratio=40/4.167=9.6 Times

You really don't need all the information you have put up. Most of it was unnecessary
