Answer 1

Answer:

the price earning ratio is 8.33

Explanation:

The computation of the price earning ratio is shown below:

P/E Ratio is

= share price ÷  Earning Per share

where,

The price of a share is

= 3 × 106

= $3.18

And, the earning per share is

= $4 × (1.06) ÷ (0.15 - 1.06)

So, the price earning ratio is

= (3 × (1.06) ÷  4(1.06)÷ (0.15 -0.06))

= 8.33

Hence, the price earning ratio is 8.33
