A. k/m %
B. (k - m) %
C. [100(k - m)] / (100 + k) %

D. [100(k - m)] / (100 + m) %
E. [100(k - m)] / (100 + k + m) %
New price per share= p(1 + k/100)
Earning per share = e(1 + m/100)

It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

IMO D
P = 100 E = 10
After increase P1 = 100 + k and E1 = 10+0.1m

Increase in ratio is P1/E1 - P/E
