Explanation:

1. Market price = Price to earning ratio * Earning per share

Earnings per share = Net Income / Average number of shares outstanding

Earnings per share : 233 / 42.7 = 5.45

Market price per share : 10 * 5.45 = 54.50

2. Dividend per share : Dividend paid / number of shares outstanding

DPS : 64 / 42.7 = 1.50

3. Dividend Yield : Dividend per share / Stock Price share

Dividend Yield : 1.50 / 54.50

4. Dividend Payout ratio : Total Dividend paid / Net Income

Dividend Payout ratio : 64 / 233 = 27.46%

5. Day Receivale : (Average Receivable / Sales ) * 365

Days Receivables : 322/ 3064 * 365 = 38 days

6. Debt Ratio : Total Liabilities / Total Assets

Debt ratio : 2194 / 3215 = 68.29%

7. Debt/ equity ratio : Debt / Equity

Debt/Equity : 1603 / 1021 = 1.57

8. Interest Earned Ratio : Earning before Interest and Tax / Interest Expense

Interest Earned Ratio : 310 / 98 = 3.16 times
