Answer #1

The market value of the stock is :

market value/ book value = 1.9

therefore, the market value or the current stock price is = $74.21

So, the P/E ratio : market price per share/ earnings per share (EPS)

= 74.21/ 4.20

=17.67

So, the P/E ratio os the stock is 17.67 X (ROUNDED OFF TO TWO DECIMAL PLACES)
