Explanation / Answer

Ans. 1. Computation of Basic Earning per share for the year of 2016

Net Income before Dividend :                                              $29975

Less: Preference Dividend (1000X100)X.10                       $10000

Earning available for equity                                                $19975

Calculation of Weighted Average no of equity share

No of share at begning                           $7000

Issued in Apr 2016 (2000X9/12)             $1500

apr to Dec 2016 only 9 month

total Weighted Average no of share       $8500

EPS              =       Earning available for equity/ total weighted average no of share

                     = $19975/8500 = $2.35

2. Calculation Price Earning Ratio (P/E Ratio) = Market price of share/EPS

Market price of share = $17.50

EPS = $2.35

P/E Ratio = 17.50/2.35 = 7.45
