    Price earnings ratio is $20.8

    Explanation:

    Income available to common shareholders;

    = Net income - Preference dividend

    = $870,000 - $0

    = $870,000

    Weighted average number of shares = 174,000 shares

    Earnings per share (EPS) = Income due to common share holders : Weighted average number of shares

    = $870,000 : 174,000

    = $5 per share

    Since Market price per share (MPS) = $104, therefore;

    Price - Earnings Ratio = MPS : EPS

    = $104 : $5

    = $20.8
