Explanation:
Current Year Price earning ratio = Net Income ÷ Number of shares
= ($17.50 × 5,500,000) ÷ $8,000,000
= 96,250,000 ÷ $8,000,000
= 12.03
Next year earnings = $8,000,000 × (1 + 25%)
= $10,000,000
Share price next year = ( $10,000,000 × 12.03) ÷ 7,000,000
= 120,300,000 ÷ 7,000,000
= 17.1857 per share
The correct answer is 17.1857 per share. Therefore, the option is not available.
Market to book ratio = market value ÷ book value
= (7,000,000 × $47.12) ÷ $35,424,400
= $329,840,000 ÷ $35,424,400
= 9.31
Negative PE ratio is likely due to the company's Negative Earnings. Therefore yes it is possible.
b. Companies with high research and development (R&D) expenses tend to have high P/E ratios.

Here's the completed question.
Question: The company would like to reduce the double and sometimes triple handling of items. How can this goal be achieved? Are there alternative solutions which might also be effective?
1. Using the Just in Time Management inventory technique.
2. Using automated inventory processing systems, changing physical layout of warehouse.
Explanation:
1. The Just in time method would allow Hawkins Supply company to quickly process its inventory by adopting a principle of processing smaller batches with reduced factory space. Doing so would minimise the worries about expired inventory since the inventory isn't excessive.
2. There are automated softwares such as the KANBAN system that would automated the process, requiring lesser use receipts to track inventories. Another alternative is to restructure the warehouse by making provision for racks that could be numbered serially to easily find desired inventory.
