Required:

Compute financial ratios as follows: 1. Earnings per share. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. Dividend payout ratio. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your final percentage answer to 1 decimal place (i.e., 0.1234 should be considered as 12.3%).) 3. Dividend yield ratio. (Round your percentage answer to 1 decimal place (i.e., 0.1234 should be considered as 12.3%).) 4. Price-earnings ratio. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to 1 decimal place.) 5. Book value per share. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation:

1. Earnings per share = net income / average shares outstanding = $193,900 / 13,000 stocks = $14.92

2. Dividend payout ratio = total dividends / net income = ($2.55 x 13,000) / $193,900 = $33,150 / $193,900 = 17.1%

3. Dividend yield ratio = dividend per share / market price per share = $2.55 / $70 = 3.6%

4. Price-earnings ratio = price per share / earnings per share = $70 / $14.92 = 4.7

5. Book value per share = (stockholders' equity - preferred stocks) / total number of stocks outstanding = $871,000 / 13,000 = $67

in fact, you have to perform the operation inside parentheses first, and then proceed in order:
