    (A) Earnings per share = $1.19 per share, Dividends per share = $0.17 per share, and book value per share is $11.69 per share

    (B) Market-to-book ratio = 2.52 times, and the price-earnings ratio is 24.79 times

    (C) Price-sales ratio is 1.73 times

    Explanation:

    (A) Earning per share = (Net income) : (Number of shares)

    where,

    Net income = Retained earnings + dividend paid

    = $630,000 + $105,000

    = $735,000

    And, the number of shares are 620,000 shares

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the value would equal to

    = ($735,000) : (620,000 shares)

    = $1.19 per share

    Dividend per share = (Total dividend) : (number of shares)

    = ($105,000) : (620,000 shares)

    = $0.17 per share

    Book value per share = (Total equity) : (number of shares)

    = $7,250,000 : (620,000 shares)

    = $11.69 per share

    (B) Market to book ratio = (Market price per share) : (book value per share)

    = $29.50 : $11.69

    = 2.52 times

    Price-earnings ratio = (Market price per share) : (Earning per share)

    = $29.50 : $1.19

    = 24.79 times

    (C) Price sales ratio = (Market price per share) : (Total sales per share)

    where,

    Total sales per share = (total sales) : (Number of shares)

    = (10,550,000) : (620,000 shares)

    = $17.01 per share

    So, the price sales ratio = $29.50 : $17.01

    = 1.73 times
