Answer #1

Earnings 
630000GIVEN











Perpetual Earnings 
630000











RATE OF Return
11%


























A)FORMULA FOR P/E RATIO =   PRICE / EARNINGS











WE KNOW ONLY EARNINGS WE   DON’T NO THE PRICE SO 1ST WE HAVE TO CALCULATE THAT.






FORMULA FOR PRICE =   C/(r-g)
HERE   "C" IS DIVIDEND... AS IT IS SAID IN QUESTION THAT ALL THE EARNINGS   ARE GIVEN AS DIVIDEND… SO, WE WILL TAKE EARNINGS AS DIVIDEND. AND   "GROWTH" IS NOT GIVEN SO WE WILL TAKE IT AS 0 


PRICE =5727272.73


PE RATIO =9.09



























B)NEW EARNINGS = 100000












 TOTAL EARNINGS = 100000+630000730000NOW THEY ARE GIVING THIS AS DIVIDEND






















FORMULA FOR P/E RATIO =   PRICE / EARNINGS











WE KNOW ONLY EARNINGS WE   DON’T NO THE PRICE SO 1ST WE HAVE TO CALCULATE THAT.






FORMULA FOR PRICE =   C/(r-g)













PRICE =6636363.64













PE RATIO =10.53



























C)NEW EARNINGS = 200000












 TOTAL EARNINGS= 200000+630000830000NOW THEY ARE GIVING THIS AS DIVIDEND






















FORMULA FOR P/E RATIO =   PRICE / EARNINGS











WE KNOW ONLY EARNINGS WE   DON’T NO THE PRICE SO 1ST WE HAVE TO CALCULATE THAT.






FORMULA FOR PRICE =   C/(r-g)





























PRICE =7545454.55













PE RATIO =11.98

Answer #2

SOLUTION :


Current value of both companies 

= PV of future cash flows of $63000 in perpetuity discounted at 11%.

= 630000 / 0.11

= 5727272.72 ($)


Let number of shares be N.


So, 


Price per share = 5727272.72 / N  ($)


Earring per share = 630000 / N   ($)


PE ratio of each company.

= (5727272.72 / N) / (630000 / N) 

= 5727272.72 / 630000 

= 9.09 (ANSWER). 


With new project, earnings of Pacific energy company = 630000 + 100000 = 730000 


PE ratio of this company 

= Value of company / Earnings

= (730000 / 0.11) / 730000 

= 9.09  (ANSWER) 


With new project, earnings of US bluechip company = 630000 + 200000 = 830000 


PE ratio of this company 

= Value of company / Earnings

= (830000 / 0.11) / 830000 

= 9.09  (ANSWER)
