Answer:

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
