    The price-earnings ratio is 66 times

    Explanation:

    Price earning ratio determines the ratio of price of a share by the earning per share. It measures the times value which a investor pays for each $1 earning of the shares.

    Market to book ratio = Market price / Book value

    2.7 = Market price / $37

    Market price = $37 x 2.7 = $99.9

    Earning per share = Net income / Outstanding number of shares

    Earning per share = $68,400 / 45,000 = $1.52 per share

    Price Earning Ratio = Market Price / Earning Per share

    Price Earning Ratio = $99.9 / $1.52

    Price Earning Ratio = 65.7 times = 66 times
