    c. 21.00

    Explanation:

    The formula to compute the price earning ratio is shown below:

    Price-earnings ratio = (Market price per share) : (Earning per share)

    where,

    Market price per share is $105

    And, the earning per share would be

    = Net income : weighted-average common shares outstanding

    = $865,000 : 173,000 shares

    = $5

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the per share would equal to

    = $105 : $5

    = 21
