• Lerner's net income for 2016 was $104,000. The company had 32,000 shares of common stock outstanding at the beginning of the year and 48,000 at the end of the year, as well as 5,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding throughout the year. In 2016, Lerner declared and paid $30,000 in preferred dividends. On December 31, 2016, the market price of Lerner's common stock was $30 per share, while the preferred stock's market price was $57 per share. To calculate the price/earnings ratio, we must first determine the earnings per share (EPS) for common stock by adjusting the net income to exclude preferred dividends: Net Income - Preferred Dividends = Earnings Available for Common Stockholders $104,000 - $30,000 = $74,000 We continue by calculating the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. With 32,000 shares at the start and 48,000 at the end, the average is: (32,000 shares + 48,000 shares) / 2 = 40,000 average shares Now we calculate the EPS: EPS = Earnings Available for Common Stockholders / Weighted Average Shares Outstanding EPS = $74,000 / 40,000 shares EPS = $1.85 Finally, we find the price/earnings (P/E) ratio: P/E Ratio = Market Price per Share / Earnings per Share P/E Ratio = $30 / $1.85 P/E Ratio = 16.22 (rounded to two decimal places)
