    Earnings per share

    = Net income - Preferred dividend

    No of common stocks outstanding

    = $1,500,000 - 0

    1,000,000 shares

    = $1.50 per share

    P/E ratio = Market price per share

    Earnings per share

    15 = Market price per share

    $1.50

    Market price per share = 15 x $1.50

    = $22.50

    Explanation:

    In this question, there is need to calculate earnings per share by dividing net income by number of common stocks outstanding. Thereafter, we will apply P/E ratio formula, where P/E ratio and earnings per share are known. We will make market price per share the subject of the formula.
