Answer:

$14.92 17.1% 3.6% 4.7 $67

Explanation:

1. Earnings per share = net income / average shares outstanding = $193,900 / 13,000 stocks = $14.92

2. Dividend payout ratio = total dividends / net income = ($2.55 x 13,000) / $193,900 = $33,150 / $193,900 = 17.1%

3. Dividend yield ratio = dividend per share / market price per share = $2.55 / $70 = 3.6%

4. Price-earnings ratio = price per share / earnings per share = $70 / $14.92 = 4.7

5. Book value per share = (stockholders' equity - preferred stocks) / total number of stocks outstanding = $871,000 / 13,000 = $67
