Question

Calculate the market to book ratio ,debt equity ratio and  retained income for the year.

whats wrong with my answers kindly

 

 Answer

 

1.

Market to book ratio = Market capitalisation/ Net book value = 243,000,000/1,750,000 = 138.85

Market capitalisation = MPS x No. of shares = 270 x 900,000 = 243,000,000

As the original cost of assets and depreciation is not given, we can assume that non-current assets as the net book value.

Step 2

2.

Debt/equity ratio = (Short term debt+Long term debt)/Shareholder's fund = (730,000+180,000)/(1,800,000+160,000)

Debt-equity ratio = 910,000/1,960,000 = 0.464

Short term debt is payables in the ques, long term debt is the loan amount in the ques, and

shareholders' fund = Share capital + Retained earnings

Debt equity is less than 1 which means that it is a low levered company i.e. it has a low level of debt in comparison to equity.

 

3.

Retained earning is given = 160,000
