Explanation / Answer

1) Calculation of Earnings per share :

EPS = Earnings available to common stock holders / Number of common stock

= ($141,000 + $189,000) / 120,000

= $2.75 per share

2) Calculation of Dividend per share :

DPS = Dividends paid to common stock holders / Number of common stock

= $189,000 / 120,000

= $1.575 per share

3) Calculation of book value per share :

Book value per share = Total value of equity / Number of common stock

= $4,940,000 / 120,000

= $41.17 per share

4) Market to book ratio :

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

= $84 / $41.17

= 2.04
