Answer:

Price-Earning ratio = 6.42

Price to Sales Ratio = 1.35

Explanation:

Earning for the year = $285,000

Common stock outstanding = 150,000 shares

* Price has not been given in the question. Assuming $70 is the market price of the share.

1.

Earning per share =  Earning for the year / Common stock outstanding

Earning per share = $285,000 / 150,000 = $1.90 per share

Price-Earning ratio = $7 / $1.90 = 6.42

2.

Price to Sales Ratio = Price / Sales = $7 / $5.19 = 1.35
