Answer:

General Motors (GM)

If  the price of the stock at that time was $36 per share, the true statement is:

a. GM's earnings per share was 3.66.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Price-earnings ratio = 9.84

Market price of stock at that time = $36 per share

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

= $36/9.84 = 3.659

= $3.66

Check:

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

= 9.84 ($36/$3.66)
