Price per share of Stock X=x

Earnings per share of Stock X=y

Ratio of price per share to earnings per share of Stock X=x/y

Last year:

Price per share of stock X= x(1+k/100)

Earnings per share of Stock X= y(1+m/100)

Ratio of price per share of price per share to earnings per share of Stock X= x/y*(1+k/100)/(1+m/100)

Ratio simplified: x/y*(100+k/100)/(100+m/100)

100's cancel

x/y*(100+k/100+m)

Percent increase formula:

(higher - lower)/lower*100 %

y/x*[(100+k)/(100+m)*x/y-x/y]*100=(100+k)/(100+m)-1*100 %

100+k-100-m/100+m*100 %

(k-m)*100/100+m %
