Question
During the year, Lox, Stock and Bagel Inc.'s net income was 240,000, and it had 120,000 shares outstanding the entire year. Its stock was selling for $10 per share. Its P/E ratio equals ______. The company has no preferred stock.Multiple choice question.0.500.2520.0040.00
Solution
The P/E ratio, or Price to Earnings ratio, is calculated by dividing the market value per share by the earnings per share (EPS).
First, we need to calculate the Earnings Per Share (EPS). The EPS is calculated by dividing the net income by the number of outstanding shares.
In this case, the net income is $60,000 and the number of outstanding shares is 120,000.
So, EPS = Net Income / Outstanding Shares = 0.50 per share.
Next, we calculate the P/E ratio by dividing the market value per share by the EPS.
The market value per share is given as $10.
So, P/E ratio = Market Value per Share / EPS = 0.50 = 20.
Therefore, the P/E ratio of Lox, Stock and Bagel Inc. is 20.
So, the correct answer is 20.
