Respuesta :

Answer:

Price-earnings ratio = Market price per share/Earnings per share

                                 = $115/$102

                                = 1.1

Explanation:

Price-earnings ratio is the ratio of market price per share to earnings per share. Market price per share = $115 and earnings per share = $102.

The division of market price per share by earnings per share gives price-earnings ratio.
