Let's break down **each part** of the question using the data provided.

---

## **Given Data** (from the messy table):

- **Shares Outstanding:** 44,000  
- **Market Price per Share (end of 2024):** $27.80  
- **Net Income (Set Lasseas):** 42,837  
- **Dividends:** 8,061  
- **Retained Earnings:** (Not needed for these ratios)  
- **Book Value per Share:** Not given directly, but we can infer how to find it.

---

### **A. Price-Earnings Ratio (P/E)**

**Formula:**  
$$
\text{P/E Ratio} = \frac{\text{Market Price per Share}}{\text{Earnings per Share (EPS)}}
$$
Where:
$$
\text{EPS} = \frac{\text{Net Income}}{\text{Number of Shares}}
$$

#### **Step 1: Calculate EPS**

$$
\text{EPS} = \frac{42,837}{44,000} = 0.97356
$$

#### **Step 2: Calculate P/E Ratio**

$$
\text{P/E} = \frac{27.80}{0.97356} = 28.56
$$

**Final Answer (P/E Ratio):**  
$$
\boxed{28.56}
$$

---

### **B. Dividends per Share**

**Formula:**  
$$
\text{Dividends per Share} = \frac{\text{Dividends}}{\text{Number of Shares}}
$$

$$
\text{Dividends per Share} = \frac{8,061}{44,000} = 0.1832
$$

**Round to 2 decimal places:**  
$$
\boxed{0.18}
$$

---

### **C. Market-to-Book Ratio**

**Formula:**  
$$
\text{Market-to-Book Ratio} = \frac{\text{Market Price per Share}}{\text{Book Value per Share}}
$$

#### **Step 1: Calculate Book Value per Share**

Book Value = Equity / Number of Shares

The equity (book value) isn't directly given, but it can be **estimated** as:
- If only net income, dividends, and retained earnings are available, sometimes you use retained earnings (assuming it's the total equity for the year), but that's not always correct.
- **If you don't have total equity,** sometimes a question expects you to use retained earnings as a proxy (not ideal, but let's proceed).

**Retained Earnings**: Not given numerically, but if **Net Income** = 42,837 and **Dividends** = 8,061,  
$$
\text{Retained Earnings for the year} = \text{Net Income} - \text{Dividends} = 42,837 - 8,061 = 34,776
$$

So, Book Value per Share = 34,776 / 44,000 = 0.79036

#### **Step 2: Calculate Market-to-Book Ratio**

$$
\text{Market-to-Book Ratio} = \frac{27.80}{0.79036} = 35.18
$$

**Final Answer (Market-to-Book Ratio):**  
$$
\boxed{35.18}
$$

## **Summary Table**

| Metric                   | Value      |
|--------------------------|------------|
| Price-Earnings Ratio     | 28.56      |
| Dividends per Share      | $0.18      |
| Market-to-Book Ratio     | 35.18      |

---

### **Final Answers:**

**a. Price-Earnings Ratio:**  
$$
\boxed{28.56}
$$

**b. Dividends per Share:**  
$$
\boxed{0.18}
$$

**c. Market-to-Book Ratio:**  
$$
\boxed{35.18}
$$

---

**Note:**  
If you have the actual equity value (not just retained earnings), use that for the book value per share. If more data is available, adjust calculations accordingly. Based on your table, these are the correct formulas and answers.
