Explanation / Answer

1)

Profit    = Sales x profit Margin

                =$9,800 x 5%

                =$490

EPS= Profit after tax/ No of shares outstanding

    =$490/4,500

= $ 0.10889

P/E Ratio= Market Price Per share/ EPS

                =$1.9/= $ 0.10889

                =$17.45

2)Net income=Total Equity x Return on Equity

                          =7,200 x 18%

                          =$1,296
