Respuesta :

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The price to earnings ratio (PE ratio) is used to know if the price of stock of a particular company is either overvalued or undervalued.

The price to earnings ratio is calculated as:

= Price per share/Earnings per share

where Price per share = $60

Earnings per share = $2.50

PE Ratio = $60/$2.50

= 24

Therefore, the PE ratio is 24.
