    These two seem to be reciprocals but kindly look at this question and explain the answer please:

    DD’s PE ratio is 12. It’s competitor’s earnings yield is 10%.

    What are the earnings yield and PE ratio of DD and it’s competitor respectively?

    Thank you for your time.

    They are reciprocals.

    DD’s earning yield = 1/12 x 100 = 8.33%

    The competitors PE ratio = 1/10 x 100 = 10

    So this means that we should always divide 1 by the ratio or yield, to get the reciprocal? Thank you John.
