Provide excel calculation.

The correct option is B, I  and III only

Explanation:

The earnings per share can be computed from the P/E ratio pf 17.5

P/E=Price of stock/earnings per share

price of stock  is $33.10

P/E ratio is 17.5

earnings per share is unknown

17.5=33.10/EPS

EPS=33.10/17.5

EPS =1.89

YTD of 3.4% implies that the stock price has grown by 3.4 % in the course of the year.

The previous day closing stock price  of $32.60 cannot be substantiated as more details are required.

Current dividend yield =dividend per share/current stock price

                                       =$0.80/$33.10

                                        =2.4%

The correct option is B,as the first and third comments were correct

and whats your questoin

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
