Solution

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share = [ Net Income – Preferred Dividend ] / weighted-average common shares outstanding

= [ $144,000 – 5,400 ] / 28,000 Shares

= $138,600 / 28,000 Shares

= $4.95 per share

Price - Earnings Ratio

Price - Earnings Ratio = Market Price of the share / Earnings Per Share

= $13 per share / $4.95 per share

= 2.6 Times

Payout Ratio

Payout Ratio = [ Dividend to common shareholders / Net Income available after preferred Dividend ] x 100

= [ $18,600 / 138,600 ] x 100

= 13.4%

Times Interest Earned

Times Interest Earned = [ Net Income + Income Taxes + Interest Expenses ] / Interest Expenses

= [ $144,000 + 22,000 + 14,000 ] / 14,000

= $180,000 / 14,000

= 12.9 Times
