Step 1 Earning per Share.

Earning per share is the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock.

EPS is the portion of a company's net income that would be allocated each outstanding share if all the profits were paid out to its shared holders.

Formula :-

Earning per share = Net income - preferred dividend / average number of shares outstanding 

First we have to calculate the average number of shares outstanding  for which:-

Common stock outstanding at beginning (January 1 2022)  + common stock outstanding at the end of the period ( December 31st 2022) 2

24,700 +37,100 / 2 = 30,900 shares.

Earning per share = $86,600 - $4,900 /30,900 shares = $2.64 per shares.

Step 2 Price earning ratio.

Price earning ratio is market prospect that calculated the market value of a stock relative to its earning by comparing the market price per share by earning per share.

Formula :-

Price earning ratio = Market price per share / earning per share 

Price earning ratio = $14 /$2.64 = 5.30 times.
