Answer:

Kepler Company

a. Return on assets = Net Income/Total Assets

= $ 97,800/$1,100,000 $ 79,200/$830,000

= 8.89% = 9.54%

b. Return on stockholders' equity = Net Income/Stockholders' equity

= $ 97,800/$400,000 $ 79,200/$330,000

= 24.45% = 24%

c. Earnings per share = Net Income/Outstanding common shares

= $ 97,800/100,000 $ 79,200/100,000

= $0.98 = $0.79

d. Price-earnings ratio = Market price/Earnings per share

= $2.98/$0.98 = $2.98/$0.79

= 3.04 times = 3.77 times

e. Dividend yield = Dividend per share/price per share

= $0.28/$2.98 = $0.19/$2.98

= 9.40% = 6.38%

f. Dividend payout ratio = Total dividends/Net Income

= $27,800/$97,800 = $19,200/$79,200

= 28.43% = 24.24%
