The criteria for distinguishing between whether an expenditure is a capital item or a deductible expense is the useful life of the item.
If the purchase is going to be used and no longer have value at the end of the reporting period it is an expense for that period. If the item is a capital item it is going to have a longer useful life. In this case the item is depreciated over its useful life, assigning an expense amount to each accounting period that the item has value.

Answer:
Book value per share is $3.5, Earnings per share is $0.48, Market-to-book ratio is 2.0x; P/E ratio = 18.75
Explanation:
1. In order to calculate the book value of the shares we divide the total value of the shares by the number of shares which is $35,000,000/10,000,000 shares = $3.5
2. Earnings per share is derived by dividing the total earnings (after subtracting preference dividends, but in this case we have common stock dividend so we do not subtract) by the number of shares outstanding. i.e. $4,800,000 / 10,000,000 shares = $0.48
3. Market to book ratio is derived by dividing the market value of the outstanding shares by its book value. Therefore ($9*10,000,000 shares)/$35,000,000 = 2.0 (written as 2.0x, implying that the market value of the shares of Roxie's Bed & Breakfast Corp. can cover its net assets (or equity) twice.)
4.The Price Earnings ratio is derived by dividing the Price of the shares by the earnings per share.i.e. $9/0.48(derived in 2 above) = 18.75.
