Explanation / Answer

Yesterday’s Papers Closing Price:

Yld % = Div. / Closing Price

2.5% = 2.7 / Closing Price

Closing Price (today’s paper) = 2.7/ .025 = 108

Yesterday’s = $108+0.42 = 108.42

Net Income:

P/E = Price / EPS = and

stock price = 108, so

15 = 108 / EPS

EPS = 108/ 15 = $7.2

so with 30 million shares outstanding,

Net Income = $6.94 x 30M = $216M or 216000000
