A P/E ratio is calculated in the middle of the accounting year. For a given share price, the company could use the most recent annual EPS, or it could use the total of the most recent four quarterly EPS numbers. Which of the following statements is not true? Multiple Choice The ratio will be larger if the most recent annual EPS is used when earnings are decreasing. The ratio will be smaller if the EPS for the last four quarters are used when earnings are increasing.

If you look at stock prices over any year, you will find a high and low stock price for the year. Instead of a single benchmark PE ratio, we now have a high and low PE ratio for each year. We can use these ratios to calculate a high and a low stock price for the next year. Suppose we have the following information on a particular company: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 High $87.93 $100.35 $121.89 $133.60 Low price 69.85 83.19 79.99 110.18 EPS 6.54 8.96 8.62 10.21 Earnings are expected to grow at 5.5 percent over the next year. a. What is the high target stock price over the next year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the low target stock price over the next year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a. High target price b. Low target price price

Given the information below for HooYah! Corporation, compute the expected share price at the end of 2022 using price ratio analysis. Assume that the historical (arithmetic) average growth rates will remain the same for 2022. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Exclude negative annual P/E and P/CFPS ratios from the average PE and average P/CFPS ratio calculations. When computing annual growth rates, use a positive sign on the annual rate of change if the per share value increased in value and use a negative sign on the annual rate of change if the per share value deceased in value.

Murray Motor Company wants you to calculate its cost of common stock. During the next 12 months, the company expects to pay dividends (D1) of $2.50 per share, and the current price of its common stock is $50 per share. The expected growth rate is 8 percent. Compute the cost of retained earnings (Ke). Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.   If a $3 flotation cost is involved, compute the cost of new common stock (Kn). Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.

A company’s comparative statements are given below. Please conduct the following analyses: a.     Horizontal analysis (trend analysis) on the income statement         b.     Vertical analysis (common size financial statement analysis) on the income statement                         Note:                   When the dollar change is positive, it indicates that the value increased and therefore the % change should be positive. Therefore, when calculating % change involving a negative baseline value, use the absolute value of the baseline number in the denominator: % change = (new value - original baseline value)/|baseline value|. Otherwise the % change will be inconsistent with the real change. For example:Let's say item A changed from -10 to +10. Item A increased by 20 and thus should give rise to a positive % change. However, % change based on formula using the original value of -10 is -200% = [10-(-10)]/(-10).Let’s look at another example. Assume item B changed from -10…
