Answer 1

Answer to Part a.

Gross Margin Percentage = Gross Margin/ Net Sales * 100
Gross Margin Percentage = $500/ $1,320 * 100
Gross Margin Percentage = 37.9%

Answer to Part b.

Earnings per Share = Net Income/ Common Stock Outstanding
Common Stock Outstanding = Common Stock/ Par Value
Common Stock Outstanding = $200/ 2 = 100

Earnings per Share = $59/ 100
Earnings per Share = $0.59

Answer to Part 3.

Price- Earnings Ratio = Market Price per share/ Earnings per share
Price- Earnings Ratio = $14.40 / $0.59
Price- Earnings Ratio = 24.4

Answer to Part 4.

Dividend Payout Ratio = Dividend Paid / Net Income * 100
Dividend Payout Ratio = $39/ $59 * 100
Dividend Payout Ratio = 66.1%
