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.

The computation of gain on sales is given below:-

Depreciation per year = $40,000 - $10,000 ÷ 10

= $3,000

Life of equipment = 5.5 years

Accumulated Depreciation on equipment = 5.5 × $3,000

= $16,500

Book value of equipment = $40,000 - $16,500

= $23,500

Gain = Proceed from sale - Book value at the time of sale

= $24,500 - $23,500

= $1,000
