Understand the concept of the Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio, which is calculated as the market price per share divided by the earnings per share (EPS).
Calculate the Earnings Per Share (EPS) by dividing the net income by the number of common shares outstanding. Use the formula: \( \text{EPS} = \frac{\text{Net Income}}{\text{Common Shares Outstanding}} \).
Substitute the given values into the EPS formula: \( \text{EPS} = \frac{60,000}{120,000} \).
Calculate the P/E ratio using the formula: \( \text{P/E Ratio} = \frac{\text{Market Price per Share}}{\text{EPS}} \).
Substitute the calculated EPS and the given market price into the P/E ratio formula: \( \text{P/E Ratio} = \frac{10}{\text{EPS}} \).
