Answer:

$74,16

Explanation:

Note : I have attached the full question as images below !

Price Earning ratio = Price per share ÷ Earnings per share

                               = $24

Where,

Earnings per share = Earnings attributable to Common Stock holders ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Outstanding

therefore,

Earnings per share = $1,640 ÷ 530 = $3.09

so,

Market Price per share = Price Earning ratio x Earnings per share

Market Price per share = $24 x $3.09

                                       = $74,16
