    a. $3.5 per share

    b. $1.49 per share

    c. $38.38 per share

    d. 1.93 times

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    a. Earning per share = (Net income) : (Number of shares)

    where,

    Net income = Additions to retained earnings + cash dividends

    = $261,000 + $194,000

    = $455,000

    So, the earning per share equal to

    = $455,000 : 130,000 shares

    = $3.5 per share

    b. Dividend per share = (Total dividend) : (number of shares)

    = ($194,000) : (130,000 shares)

    = $1.49 per share

    c. Book value per share = (Total equity) : (number of shares)

    = ($4,990,000) : (130,000 shares)

    = $38.38 per share

    d. Market to book ratio = (Market price per share) : (book value per share)

    = $74 : $38.38

    = 1.93 times
