Answer:

P/E Ratio = 12x or 12 times

Explanation:

We know that the P/E ratio is calculated by dividing the price per share by the earnings per share or EPS.

P/E = Price per share / Earnings per share

We already have EPS. We need to calculate the price per share.

It is given that book value per share is $20 and the market to book ratio is 1.2x or 1.2 times. Using the formula for market to book ratio, we calculate the market price per share to be,

M/B = Market price per share / Book value per share

1.2 = Market price per share / 20

20 * 1.2 = Market price per share

Market price per share = $24

So, P/E ratio = 24 / 2

P/E Ratio = 12x or 12 times

Why might a person decide to take advantage of a non-installment credit offer?

Korolek [52]

A person would take advantage of a non installment credit offer if there was no interest charged on on the loan. Many of these offers will not charge interest on the loans if the loan is paid off in a short amount of time. Usually within 3 to six months of the time the loan is started. These offers are usually for appliances and furniture. You can always ask the store you are visiting if they have these offers available. If you don't pay the loan off within the amount of time, you are then charged the interest and have a longer amount of time to pay the loan off.
