Explanation / Answer

Operating income before tax = sales -expenses

                  = 4,800,000 - (4,800,000 *.40) -2,100,000- 20,000 - 30,000

                 = 730,000

less:Taxes (292,000)                          [730,000*.40]

Income after tax = 438,000

5) Dividend payout = 438,000 * .40 = $ 175,200

Dividend per share =dividend /number of shares

                                 = 175,200 / 100,000

                                 = $ 1.752 per share (approx 1.75)

correct option is "A"

6)EPS =income after tax /number of shares

             = 438,000 /100,000

           = $ 4.38 per share

correct option is "B"

7)current dividend yield =D1 /P0

                                     = 1.75/ 50

                                   = .035 or 3.50%

correct option is "D"

8)Dividend = 438,000 *.50 = 219,000

dividend per share = 219000/100000

                                = $ 2.19 per share
