    Company A's price per share is $45

    Explanation:

    The P/E ratio of one company can be used by investors and analysts to determine the value of another companie's stock in the industry. This is called apples-to-apples comparism.

    The P/E ratio is used to value a company by comparing its share price to earnings per share.

    P/E ratio = market value of shares / earnings per share

    For company B

    P/E ratio = 30/2 = $15

    Using company B's P/E ratio as a benchmark for company A

    15 = Price per share / 3

    Price per share = 15*3 = $45
