    Price earning ratio is 16

    Explanation:

    Profit Margin = (Net profit / Net Sales) x 100

    7.5% = Net profit / $220,000

    Net Profit = $220,000 x 7.5%

    Net Profit = $16,500

    Earning Per share = $16,500 / 10,000 = $1.65 per share

    Price-sales ratio = Market value / Sales value

    1.20 = Market value / 220,000

    1.20 x 220,000 = Share price

    Share price = 264,000 / 10,000 =

    Share price = 26.40

    Price Earning Ratio = 26.40 / 1.65 = 16
