Question

You printed a stock price quote for Dell, but unfortunately, spilled coffee on it and now need to restore the missing pieces of information. What is the Dell's P/E ratio? What is Dell's dividend yield? If you want to buy 100 shares, how much will you have to pay? If you bought a share of Dell a year at $ 17.30 and sell it now, what your capital gains/losses are? What is your total return? What is the Dell's P/E ratio? What is Dell's dividend yield? If you want to buy 100 shares, how much will you have to pay? If you bought a share of Dell a year ago at $ 17.30 and sell it now, what your capital gains/losses are? What is your total return?

Explanation / Answer

a)

P/E ratio = market price / EPS

                =14.33/1.35

                = 10.615 times

b)

Dividend yield = Dividend per share / Price per share

                                = 0.32/ 14.33

                                =2.23%

c)

Stocks to buy   =100

Stock price = 14.33

Price to pay = 100 x14.33 = 1,433

d)

Price received = 14.33

Capital gain = (Selling price – buying price)/ Buying price

                        = (14.33 -17.30)/17.30

                                =-17.17%

Hence there is capital loss.

Return = Capital gain yield + Dividend yield

                =-17.17%+2.23%

                =-14.94%
