Investor ratios

RRichard8y ago
Hi, I am a little confused at how you have calculated the share price in example 1 in Chapter 4. I follow the rest of the workings okay- I just cannot seem to work back to the share prices you have given in the answer. Any pointers would be great, thanks.

I have used the PE ratio. The PE ratio is the market value per share divided by the earnings per share. Therefore the MV = PR ratio x EPs In Year 1, the earnings per share are 5,100/9000. Therefore the MV = 17.0 x 5,100/9,000 = $9.63
