Given for XYZ Company:

Net Income ($000): 10,000
Total book assets ($000): 320,000
Total book debt ($000): 0
Shares outstanding (000): 3,000
Share price 100
Expected dividends ($000): 3,000

Calculate P/E and Market to Book ratio

Question I have is what happens when we have debt and interest and
taxes to consider. How does this change the calculation of earnings
and book equity.

For example: (I am putting some numbers in $000 below)

Debt: 100,000
Interest: 10,000
Tax: 50,000

How would I calculate earnings and book equity

Thank you.
