    Price earning ratio = 8 times

    Explanation:

    Price earning ratio = Price per share / Earnings per share

    Price per share = 56, EPS = ?

    Price per share = 56, EPS = Total earnings available to ordinary shareholders/Number of shares

    7,000,000/1,000,000 = $7 per share

    Price earning ratio = 56/7 = 8 times

    Price earning ratio = 8 times
