Explanation / Answer

a) EPS = (Addition to Retained earnings + Dividends) / No. of shares = (141,000 + 189,000) / 120,000 = $2.75

b) Dividend per share = 189,000 / 120,000 = $1.575

c) Book Value per share = Total Equity / No. of shares = 4,940,000 / 120,000 = $41.17

d) M/B = 84 / 41.17 = 2.04

e) P/E = 84 / 2.75 = 30.55

f) P/S = 84 / (4,440,000 / 120,000) = 2.27
