EPS / dividend = 2.4, so EPS = 2.4 x divi
PE ratio = MV / EPS
So..... PE = (divi / 0.08) / (2.4 x divi) = 5.21
For question 2, you need to watch the free lecture on rights issues where I go through a very similar example. Remember for their to be no cash effect, then the market value of the new shares at the TERP, must be equal to the market value of the existing shares at the existing share price.
please how do you arrive at the 5.21.Please i need clarification.thanks
11y ago#3If you divide top and bottom by divi, you get 1/0.08 divided by 2.4
this equals 12.5 divided by 2.4 which is 5.21
thanks
