Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What are earnings per share?

Earnings per share:

= (additions to retained earnings+ cash dividends)/140000

= (174000+190000)/140000

= 364000/140000

Earnings per share = $ 2.60

b. What are dividends per share ?

Dividends per share will be:

= Dividend/Number of shares of common stock outstanding

= 190000/140000

= $ 1.36

c. What is the book value per share?

Book value per share will be:

= Ending total equity/Number of shares of common stock outstanding

= 4950000/140000

= $ 35.36

d. If the stock currently sells for $86 per share, what is the market-to-book ratio?

Market-to-book ratio will be:

= Market Value per share/Book Value per share

= 86/35.36

= 2.43

e. What is the price-earnings ratio?

Price-earnings ratio will be:

= Market Value per share/Earnings per share

= 86/2.6

= 33.08

f. If the company had sales of $4.69 million, what is the price-sales ratio?

Price-sales ratio will be the market value per share multiplied by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. This will be:

= (86 × 140000)/4690000

= 2.57 times
