    d. 4.07

    Explanation:

    Price-sales ratio = Share market price / Sales per share

    Share market price is given = $43.20

    Sales per share will be calculated as follow;

    Number of shares ($324000 / $5) = 64800 shares

    Thus, sales per share ($687400 / 64800) = $10.61

    Now, let's put the values in above given formula;

    Price-sales ratio = $43.20 / $10.61

    = 4.07
