Correct Answer:

Option C – N31.33%

Explanation

The earnings yield refers to the earnings per share for the most recent 12-month period divided by the current market price per share. The earnings yield (which is the inverse of the P/E ratio) shows the percentage of each dollar invested in the stock that was earned by the company.

EPS ÷ Market price

47/1.50 = N31.33
