    Price-Earning ratio = 6.42

    Price to Sales Ratio = 1.35

    Explanation:

    Earning for the year = $285,000

    Common stock outstanding = 150,000 shares

    * Price has not been given in the question. Assuming $70 is the market price of the share.

    1.

    Earning per share = Earning for the year / Common stock outstanding

    Earning per share = $285,000 / 150,000 = $1.90 per share

    Price-Earning ratio = $7 / $1.90 = 6.42

    2.

    Price to Sales Ratio = Price / Sales = $7 / $5.19 = 1.35
