    The firm's PEG ratio is equal to 5.93

    Explanation:

    A valuation metric for determining the relative trade-off between the price of a stock, the earnings generated per share (EPS), and the company's expected growth are referred to as the 'PEG ratio' (price/earnings to growth ratio).

    Generally, a company with a higher growth rate would have a higher P/E ratio.

    PE ratio = Stock price/EPS

    = 23.4/1.36

    PE ratio = 17.205

    PEG ratio = PE ratio / Earning growth ratio

    = 17.205/2.9

    PEG ratio = 5.93
