• Common stock outstanding = 5,578.753 (in millions)

BookValuepershare=119,355 millions· 5,578.753millions BookValuepershare=$21.39

Thus, book value per share for 2015 = 21.39.

Explanation of Solution

The Basic EPS is calculated by using the formula

BasicEPS=NetIncomeWeightedAverageCommonStock

For Apple, Basis EPS

The net income = $ 53,394 million and Weighted average common stock = 5,753.421 million

BasicEPS=NetIncomeWeightedAverageCommonStock

BasicEPS=$53,394million5.753,421million BasicEPS=$9.28

Thus, Basic EPS for Apple = $ 9.28

For Google, Basis EPS

The net income = $ 16,348 million and Weighted average common stock = 684.626 million

BasicEPS=NetIncomeWeightedAverageCommonStock

BasicEPS=$16,348million684.626million BasicEPS=$23.89

For Apple

• Cash dividends =$ 1.98

• Market price per share = $ 107

Dividend yield =

Dividedyield=CashDividendMarketpricepershare

Dividedyield=1.98107 Dividedyield=1.90%

Dividend yield =

Dividedyield=CashDividendMarketpricepershare

Dividedyield=0775.10 Dividedyield=0%

• Market price per share = $ 775.10

• Earnings per share = $ 23.89
