    a) EPS 2.367 dollars

    b) price-earning ratio 15

    c) book value of a common share 5.33

    Explanation:

    a) earning per share: income / shares outstanding

    2,000,000 / 750,000 = 2.67

    b) price / EPS

    40 / 2.67 = 15

    c) We determinate this using the accounting equation:

    Assets = Liab + Equity

    Assets 9,000,000

    Liabilities 5,000,000

    Equity 4,000,000

    equity / shares outstanding:

    4,000,000 / 750,000 = 5.3333
