Answer 1

The earnings per share for 20X1 is $1.49

The P/E ratio for 20X1 is $39.46

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Earning per shares = Earning after Taxes / total Shares outstanding

= $298,000/200,000

= $1.49

Therefore, The earnings per share for 20X1 is $1.49

P/E RATIO = Price Per shares/Earning per shares

= $58.80/$1.49

= $39.46

Therefore, The P/E ratio for 20X1 is $39.46
