    DD Co’s P/E ratio is 12. Its competitor’s earnings yield is 10%.
    When comparing DD Co to its competitor, which of the following is correct?
    Earningyield P/E ratio
    A Higher Higher
    B Higher Lower
    C Lower Higher
    D Lower Lower

    The correct answer is C but i can,t get the logic behind this question.The examiner is dividing P/E ratio by 1 to get the EY and also dividing EY by 1 to get the P/E ratio.
    Some explanation will be helpful.

    The PE ratio is the MV/EPS

    The Earnings yield is EPS/MV

    Therefore the PE ratio = 1 / earnings yield; and earnings yield = 1 / PE ratio
