a). Net income = 95,000,000; shares O/S = 5,500,000
EPS = 95,000,000/5,500,000 = 17.27
P/E ratio = share price/EPS = 28.50/1.17.27 = 1.65
Net income next year = 95,000,000*(1+25%) = 118,750,000
Shares O/S next year = 8,300,000
EPS next year = 118,750,000/8,300,000 = 14.31
If P/E ratio remains at 1.65 then price next year = 1.65*14.31 = $23.61 per share
b). Share price = 54.56; shares O/S = 8,300,000
Market value of equity = 54.56*8,300,000 = 452,848,000
Book value of equity = 39,192,600
Market to book ratio = 452,848,000/39,192,600 = 11.55
c). Yes, it is possible for a company to have negative EPS when a company is showing net loss, instead of profit. In that case, P/E ratio will be negative but in such cases, P/E is not reported as negative P/E does not give any information about the company. It is usually shown as "not applicable".
d). Companies with high research and development (R&D) expenses tend to have high P/E ratios, as earnings will be low due to the high R&D expenses, leading to a high P/E ratio.
e). Company A would be considered a financially leveraged firm as it is using debt as a source of capital.
f). Interest on debt is a tax deductible expense, which means that it can reduce a firm’s taxable income and tax obligation.
g). Total asset turnover = Net sales/Total assets = 6
Total assets = 25/6 = 4.167 million
Debt = 2.5 million
Debt ratio = debt/total assets = 2.5/4.167 = 60%
Times interest earned = EBIT/interest expense
EBIT = Net sales-operating expenses = 25-11.25 = 13.75 million
Interest expense = 11%*2.5 = 0.275 million
Times interest earned = 13.75/0.275 = 50.00
Blue Sky Drone Company is raising around $1.50 from creditors for each dollar of equity. (Debt to equity = 60/40 = 1.5)
Creditors would prefer to give loans to companies with high TIE as it indicates that the company can service the debt comfortably.
