Interactive thread on investment-related questions

Now that all of you have graduated with honors from the School of Financial Nuggets, it is time to let the inmates run the asylum. This thread will be your opportunity to pose investment-related questions that you have always wondered about. Let me get y’all started with the first question.

If the price per share for a stock is Rs 100 and # of shares outstanding is 10 million, what is the market capitalization of the said stock?

Everyone is invited to provide answers. Also, everyone can pose questions they have.

Re: Interactive thread on investment-related questions

I agree this was too easy. Mkt cap = # of shares * price per share

Re: Interactive thread on investment-related questions

Very nice Ali. If the dividend layout ratio is 50%, what is the dividend yield of the stock?

Re: Interactive thread on investment-related questions

Got PMs from several viewers abt typo - payout ratio not layout ratio. Thanks people.

Ali sent the correct answer - dividend/ earnings = 0.5

Earnings/market cap = 12.5%

Hence div/mkt cap = 6.25% = div yield

Nicely done Ali.

Re: Interactive thread on investment-related questions

OOk - now that we have looked at sales and income, which statement will you find them?

Re: Interactive thread on investment-related questions

Income statement

Re: Interactive thread on investment-related questions

Correct!

Let us assume the company bought some equiment 8 years ago worth Rs 200000. Let us assume company depreciates this equipment over 20 years at rate of 10000 per year. This amount is deducted from profits when net income is calculated.

Assume each year company amortizes Rs 5000 in goodwill. The intersect paid on debt each year is Rs 2000. Income taxes Rs 8000.

What is operating income?
What is operating cash flow?

Looks like we have an investment guru here folks in the form of Ali.
