    Explanation:

    First, Tobin's Q = Market value of asset / replacement cost of firm's assets.

    Use the above equation to find the market value of Asset.

    Market value of Asset = Tobin's Q * replacement cost of firm's assets;

    Market value of Asset = 0.96 * 225,000 = 216,000

    Next, find Market value of equity;

    Market value of equity = Market value of asset - market value of debt

    Market value of equity = 216,000 - 101,000 = 115,000

    Market value per share is therefore, 115,000/20,000 = $5.75 per share

    Market-to-book value ratio = market value per share / book value per share;

    Market-to-book value ratio = 5.75/2.09 = 2.75 times
