Compute the PE ratios of the following companies. (a) The share price is $ and the earnings per share is $ . 15.71 0.72 (b) The share price is $ , there are billion shares, and the company made $ billion in profit over the past 12 months. 29.71 2.2 9.9 (c) The share price is $ , and over each of the past 4 quarters, the company made $ , $ , $ , and $ in earnings per share. 448.98 1.93 1.81 1.64 2.47 (a) The PE ratio compares price per share to earnings per share. To find the PE ratio, write a ratio table to scale the earnings per share to 1. Use a ratio table that compares price per share to earnings per share and scales earnings per share to 1. A completed ratio table is shown with the information about the company. Price per Share Earnings per Share $15.71 $0.72 x 1 Now, write a proportion that corresponds to this table. One such proportion is . x 1 = 15.71 0.72 Finally, solve the proportion and round the result to one decimal place. x 1 = 15.71 0.72 x = 21.8 Therefore, the PE ratio is approximately . 21.8 (b) The price per share is given, but the earnings per share is not. To find the company's earnings per share, divide the company's profit by its number of shares. So, divide the company's profit by its number of shares. $9.9 billion 2.2 billion = $9.9 2.2 = $4.50 So, this company's earnings per share is $ . As in part (a), use a ratio table that compares price per share to earnings per share and scales earnings per share to 1. A completed ratio table is shown with the information about the company. 4.50 Price per Share Earnings per Share $29.71 $4.50 x 1 As in part (a), this table corresponds to the proportion . Solve the proportion and round the result to one decimal place. x 1 = 29.71 4.50 x 1 = 29.71 4.50 x = 6.6 Therefore, the PE ratio is approximately . 6.6 (c) The price per share is given, but the earnings per share is not. To find the company's earnings per share, add the earnings per share for each of the past 4 quarters. So, add the earnings per share for each of the past 4 quarters. $ $ $ $ 1.93 + 1.81 + 1.64 + 2.47 = $7.85 So, this company's earnings per share is $ . As in part (a), use a ratio table that compares price per share to earnings per share and scales earnings per share to 1. A completed ratio table is shown with the information about the company. 7.85 Price per Share Earnings per Share $448.98 $7.85 x 1

Solve the proportion and round the result to one decimal place. x 1 = 448.98 7.85 x 1 = 448.98 7.85 x = 57.2 Therefore, the PE ratio is approximately . 57.2
