c. Compute the earnings per share for year 2
1)
a) Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Year 2: (451,000 * 40%) / 80,000 = $180,400 / 80,000 = 2.3
Year 1: (327,000 * 40%) / 100,000 = $130,800 / 100,000 = 1.3
b) Debt ratio = Total debt / Total assets = (Current liabilities + Bonds) / Total assets
Year 2: (80,000 + 100,000) / 451,000 = 180,000 / 451,000 = 0.40 (or) 40% (Approximately)
Year 1:(100,000 + 50,000) / 327,000 = 150,000 / 327,000 = 0.46 (or) 46%
c) Earnings per share for Year 2:
Earnings per share for Year 2 = Earnings available for shareholders / Number of Equity Shares
= (Increase in Retained earnings + Dividends declared and paid) / (Capital stock / Face value per share)
= (171,000 - 77,000 + 16,000) / (100,000 / 5)
= 110,000 / 20,000
= $5.5
