Price-earnings ratio = price per share/EPS = 16

27/EPS = 16
EPS = $1.6875

Dividend payout ratio = DPS/EPS = 1.2/1.6875 = 0.7111 = 71.11%

Value of equity = 3.5674*$27 = 96.32 million

Value of debt = 40 million

Total value of Tafton = $136.32 million

Thus the dividend payout ratio is 71.11%, the total number of shares is 3.5674 million and the total value of AB is $136.32 million.
