    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Stockholders equity book value = $750,500

    Earnings per share = $3.00

    Price-earnings ratio = 12.25

    Common stock outstanding = 50,000 shares

    Market price per share:

    = Earnings per share * Price-earnings ratio

    = $3.00 * 12.25

    = $36.75

    Equity book value per share:

    = Stockholders equity : Common stock outstanding

    = $750,500 : 50,000

    = $15.01

    Price-book ratio:

    = Market price per share : Equity book value per share

    = $36.75 : $15.01

    = 2.45
