Answer:

It is 15.68 times

Explanation:

Price-Earnings Ratio = Market Price per share (MPS)/Earning per share (EPS).

Where EPS = $231,971 /55,100

                   = $4.21

Hence, Price-Earnings Ratio = 66/4.21

                                               =15.68 times

P/E ratio shows the expectations of the market and is the price you  pay per unit of current earnings.

The  ratio is as well being used for valuing companies and to find out whether they are overvalued or undervalued most especially by the investors.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a. 300

d. 200

Explanation:

EOQ = \sqrt{(2 * Annual demand * ordering cost) / holding cost } \\

2 * 7500 * 30 / 0.5

EOQ = 948 units

When price is $48 per unit

EOQ = 968 units

Total cost  = Holding cost + ordering cost + purchase cost

When the order is for 500 price is $48

Total cost = $2,400 + $30 + $24,000 = $26,430

When the order is for 300 price is $50

Total cost = $1,500 + $30 + $15,000 = $16,530

When the order is for 306 price is $50

Total cost = $1,530 + $30 + $15,300 = $16,860

When the order is for 200 price is $50

Total cost = $1,000 + $30 + $10,000 = $11,030

The best two possible order quantities are 200 and 300 which results in minimum total cost.
