Explanation / Answer

43.

Correct Answer:

B. $16.7

Working Note:

Income available for common shareholders = Net income – Preferential dividend

Income available for common shareholders = 175 - 25 = $150 Million

Earnings per share = Income available for common shareholders / No. of shares outstanding

Earnings per share = 150/250 = $.6

Thus,

Price earnings ratio = Market price per share / earning per share = 10/.6

Price earnings ratio = $16.666 or $16.7 approx.
