Question 1 Report

Tanko Ltd had 

Earnings per share 47k
Dividends per share 30k
Per value of each share N1.20
market price per share NM1.50

 The company's earnings yield is?

Answer Details
The earnings yield is a measure of the return on investment for a company's earnings. It is calculated by dividing the earnings per share by the market price per share, and expressing the result as a percentage. In this case, Tanko Ltd's earnings per share is 47k (0.47 Naira), and its market price per share is NM1.50 (1.50 Naira). So, the earnings yield can be calculated as follows: Earnings yield = (Earnings per share / Market price per share) x 100% = (0.47 / 1.50) x 100% = 31.33% Therefore, the earnings yield for Tanko Ltd is 31.33%, which means that for every Naira invested in the company's stock, investors can expect a return of 31.33 Naira in earnings.
