Information provided:

Shareholder’s equity= $5.5 billion

Price to earnings ratio= 11.5

Total number of shares outstanding= $52 million

Market to book ratio= 1.4

The question is solved by first calculating the market value of shares.

Market value of shares= Market to book ratio*Book value of shareholder’s equity

= 1.4*$5,500,000,000

= $7,700,000,000.

Stock price per share= Market value of shares/ Total number of shares outstanding

= $7,700,000,000/ 52,000,000

= $148.08.

Therefore, the price of the company’s common stock is $148.08.
