A. The earnings per share is $1.09 per share

The Dividends per share is $0.13 per share

The book value per share is $11.04 per share

B. The market-to-book ratio is 2.71 times

The price-earnings ratio is 27.43 times

C. The price-sales ratio is 1.81 times

Explanation:

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

where,

Net income = Retained earnings + dividend paid

= $634,000 + $85,000

= $719,000

And, the number of shares are 660,000 shares

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= ($719,000) : (660,000 shares)

= $1.09 per share

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

= ($85,000) : (660,000 shares)

= $0.13 per share

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

= $7,290,000 : (660,000 shares)

= $11.04 per share

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

= $29.90 : $11.04

= 2.71 times

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

= $29.90 : $1.09

= 27.43 times

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

where,

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

= (10,590,000) : (660,000 shares)

= $16.04 per share

So, the price sales ratio = $29.90 : $16.04

= 1.81 times
