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
