Monarch Resources Inc.

a. Earnings per share:

= $ 11.50

b. Price-earnings ratio:

= 8x

c. Dividends per share:

= $4.60 per share

d. Dividend yield:

= 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Common stock, $125 par value = $12,500,000

Number of common stock shares = 100,000 ($12,500,000/$125)

$6 Preferred stock, $90 par value = $2,250,000

Number of preferred stock shares = 25,000 ($2,250,000/$90)

Net income = $1,300,000

Dividends on the Preferred stock = $150,000 ($2,250,000/$90 * $6)

Net income after preferred dividend = $1,150,000 ($1,300,000-$150,000)

Dividends on the Common stock = $460,000

Common stock market price = $92 per share

a. Earnings per share

= Net income after preferred dividend/number of shares

= $1,150,000/100,000

= $ 11.50

b. Price-earnings ratio:

= Market price/EPS

= $92/$11.50

= 8x

c. Dividends per share:

= Common stock dividends/number of common stock shares

= $460,000/100,000

= $4.60 per share

d. Dividend yield:

= Market price/Dividend per share

= $4.60/$92 * 100

= 5%
