Explanation:

Referring the the recent issue of the wall street Journal at NYSE-Composite Transactions

A) The Latest price of IBM stock = $191.08

B) What are the annual dividend payment and the dividend yield on IBM stock

The annual dividend = $0.85 per share

dividend yield = 1.78%

C) calculate what the yield will become if yearly dividend is moved up to $1.50

first we find the price per share

price per share = annual dividend per share / current dividend yield

= 0.85 / 1.78% = 0.85 / 0.0178 = $47.75

since we now have the price per share value we can now calculate the dividend yield

dividend yield = annual dividend / price per share

= $1.50 / $47.75 = 0.0314

= 3.14 %

D) Calculate the P/E on IBM stock

= 13.74 times as it was traded for the last 12 months

E) calculate IBM's earnings per share using P/E

earnings per share = Price / P/E

Latest price of IBM stock = $191.08

P/E = 13.74

earnings per share = 191.08 / 13.74 = $13.91

F) IBM's P/E at 13.74 is higher than Exxon Mobil P/E at 11.29

G) The possible reasons for the difference in P/E is due to the difference in EPS earned by each company and also the difference in stock price of each company's stock
