Explanation / Answer

Earnings per share = Earnings attributable to equity shareholders / Weighted Average No. of equity shares

= (Net Income - Preference Dividends) / [(Equity shares in the beg. + Equity shares in the end) / 2]

= (1728825 - 29550) / [(124000 + 103900) / 2]

= $14.91

Market Price per share = (Total Assets - Total Laibilities - Preference share capital) / Weighted average no. of equity shares

= (12002040 - 6898700 - 299500) / [(124000 + 103900) / 2]

= $42.16

Price earnings ratio = Market Price per share / EPS

= 42.16 / 14.91

= 2.83 times

Dividend payout ratio = Equity Dividends / Net Income to equity shareholders x 100

= 431000 / (1728825 - 29550) x 100

= 25.36%
