Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

Number of shares (n) = 3.5 million shares

Share price (p) = $57 per share

Company earnings (E) = $10.5 million

We are to calculate PE ratio


\begin{gathered} PE(Ratio)=\frac{\text{Price per Share}}{\text{Earning per Share}} \\ PE(Ratio)=(n\cdot p)/(E)=(3.5\cdot10^6\cdot57)/(10.5\cdot10^6)=19 \\ PE(Ratio)=19.00(2\text{ decimal places)} \end{gathered}
