Explanation / Answer

P/E ratio = Price of share/EPS
In current year =
Price = 28.50
EPS=95,000,000/5,500,000=17.27273
PE ratio = 28.50/17.27273=1.65

EPS= net income/total shares
Net income next year = 95,000,000*1.25=118,750,000
Shares= 8,300,000
EPS=$14.30723

Price = EPS*PE ratio=14.30723*1.5=23.62 per share

B) book value per share of equity= 39,209,200/8,300,000=4.724
Market to book value= 54.56/4.724=11.55

Yes it is possible for a company to have a negative EPS and PE ratio when net income is negative i.e. there is a loss.
