The price earnings (P/E) can be used to determine the value of a stock, The relates the price of a stock to its earning. A stock with a higer P/R indicates a high potent for growth. It gives an idea of much investors are willing to pay for earnings of the company

Price of stock = EPS * comparative P/E ratio

The appropriate comparative price earnings ratio in the question would be the relative P/E ratio of similar firm. This is so because that gives a better and more reliable comparison as they are in the same industry

Revenue = 178,000 * 104% = $185,120.00

Earnings = 5% * $ 185,120.00 = $9,256

Total value of shares = Earnings * 1.21

=$9,256 * 1.21

= 11,199.76

Expected market per share = Total value / No of shares

= 11,199.76 / 10,000

= $1.12 per share
