Answer:

1. $25.84

2. $30.4

Explanation:

We know that

1. Price-earnings ratio = (Market price per share) ÷ (Earning per share)

17 = market price per share ÷ $1.52

So, the market price per share = $25.84                 ($1.52 × 17)

2. Price-earnings ratio = (Market price per share) ÷ (Earning per share)

20 = market price per share ÷ $1.52

So, the market price per share = $30.4               ($1.52 × 20)
