Respuesta :

Answer:

P/E = 18.33

Explanation:

price-earnings ratio

[tex]\frac{Market \: Price}{EPS}[/tex]

EPS: [tex]\frac{income - preferred \: dividends}{outstanding \: shares}[/tex]

There is no preferred stock thus, no preferred dividends.

650,000 / 500,000 = 1.3 dollars per share

22 / 1.2 = 18,33
