The Meat Market has $747,000 in sales. The profit margin is 4.1 percent and the firm has 7,500 shares of stock outstanding. The market price per share is $22. What is the price-earnings ratio?

P/E = .0539
PROBLEM:04
Beach Wear has current liabilities of $350,000, a quick ratio of 1.65, inventory turnover of 3.2, and a current ratio of 2.9. What is the cost of goods sold?
CA = current ratio * current liablities
CA = 2.9 * 350000
CA = 1015000
QR = (CA - Inventory) / CL
1.65 = (1015000 - Inventory) / 350000
Inventory = 437500
Cost of goods sold = IT * T
Cost of goods sold = 3.2 * 4375000
Cost of goods sold = 1400000
