correct option is a) 24.87; 24.87

Explanation:

given data

spent = $15000

current earnings = $2.80 per share

stock currently sells = $75 per share

shares outstanding = 2,800

top find out

PE ratio

solution

first we get here dividend per share that is express as

dividend per share =   ................1

dividend per share =

dividend per share = $5.3571

and price after dividend will be here as

price after dividend = stock currently sells - dividend per share    ............2

price after dividend = $75 - $5.3571

price after dividend = $69.6429

so  PE ratio will be

PE ratio is =

PE ratio is = 24.87

and

now we get share  repurchased  that is

shares repurchased =    .......3

shares repurchased =      

shares repurchased = 200      

so EPS will be  as

EPS is = 2.80 ×

EPS = 3.015  

so PE ratio will be as

PE ratio is  =

PE ratio is = 24.87

correct option is a) 24.87; 24.87
