Explanation / Answer

Rossdale, Inc., had additions to retained earnings for the year just ended of $637,000. The firm paid out $70,000 in cash dividends, and it has ending total equity of $7.32 million.

If the company currently has 690,000 shares of common stock outstanding, what are earnings per share?

Earnings per share = (additions to retained earnings + cash dividends)/No of common stock outstanding

Earnings per share = (637000+70000)/690000

Earnings per share = $ 1.02

Dividends per share?

Dividends per share =  cash dividends/No of common stock outstanding

Dividends per share = 70000/690000

Dividends per share = 0.10

What is book value per share?

Book value per share = ending total equity/No of common stock outstanding

Book value per share = 7320000/690000

Book value per share = $ 10.61

If the stock currently sells for $30.20 per share, what is the market-to-book ratio? The price-earnings ratio?

Market-to-book ratio =Market value per share/Book value per share

Market-to-book ratio = 30.20/10.61

Market-to-book ratio = 2.85

Price-earnings ratio = Market value per share/Earnings per share

Price-earnings ratio = 30.20/1.02

Price-earnings ratio = 29.61

If total sales were $10.62 million, what is the price-sales ratio?

Price-sales ratio = Market Value/total sales

Price-sales ratio = 30.20*690000/10620000

Price-sales ratio = 1.96
