For the same period, the 'Performance' section of the graph illustrates the increase in the value of the companies managed by these delegates. The change in year-end share price for the duration 2000-10 for all FTSE 350 companies combined, shown by the small, negative bar in the graph, is –5%.

The change in the total number of shares outstanding, during the year 2000-10, of all companies combined, represented in the graph is approximately [-12]
\(EPS = \frac{Profit}{No.-of-Shares}\)
=> No. of Shares = \(\frac{Profit}{EPS}\)
Profit: F => New F = 1.5F
New EPS: 1.7 EPS
=> New No. of Shares = \(\frac{1.5}{1.7} = 0.88\)
=> 12% Decrease
P / E ratio is the ratio of the price per share and pre-tax profits per share. The combined P / E ratio for the FTSE 350 companies changed by [-44]
(In P/E: E should be earnings per share)
Price P => New P: 0.95P
Earning per share: E => New E: 1.7E
=> New \(\frac{P}{E} = \frac{0.95}{1.75} = 0.56\)
=> 44% Decrease
\(EPS = \frac{Profit}{No.-of-Shares}\)
=> No. of Shares = \(\frac{Profit}{EPS}\)
Profit: F => New F = 1.5F
New EPS: 1.7 EPS
=> New No. of Shares = \(\frac{1.5}{1.7} = 0.88\)
=> 12% Decrease

P1
old: EPS * S = PTP
changed: 1.75 EPS * S = 1.5 PTP
therefore, new S = 1.5 PTP/1.75 EPS = 6/7 PTP/EPS
[note that reverse, or 1/7 is change and thereby answer, can cut below step]
change in S = 6/7 PTP/EPS divided by PTP/EPS - 1 ie 6/7 -1 = -14% and closest to -12%
P2
old: P/E = PPS/EPS
new: P/E = 0.95 PPS / 1.75 EPS
therefore, new P/E = 0.95/1.75 approx = 4/7 = 0.571
[note that reverse, or 3/7 is change and thereby answer, can cut below step]
change in P/E = (0.571 - 1)/1 = 0.429 and closest to -44
please help with any shorter way!
