Write a short note on price to earning ratio.

The ratio for valuing a firm that compares its current share price to its earnings per share is called the price-to-earnings ratio (EPS). The price multiple or earnings multiple are other names for the price-to-earnings ratio.

Investors and analysts use P/E ratios to assess the comparative value of a company's shares in an apples-to-apples comparison. It can also be used to compare a company to its past performance or to compare broad markets over time or to one another. P/E estimates can either be forecast or trailing (backward-looking).

To solve the question :                                                                            

Net income (A) =  $930,000                                                              

Weighted-average common shares outstanding (B) = 186,000

Earnings per share (C) = Net income (A)/ Weighted-average common shares outstanding (B)

= (C = A/B)

= $930,000 / 186,000

Earnings per share = $5

Market price per share (D) = $94

Price earnings ratio = Market price per share (D) / Earnings per share (C)

= (E = D/C)

= $94 / $5

= 18.8

Hence, price earnings ratio is 18.8.
