Last year so and Stewart had price earning ratios of 12 and earnings per share and $.97 this year the price earning ratio 16 in the Ernie's bar sure is $.97 based on this information it can be stated with certainty that
Investors outlook for the firm has improved
And investment is acceptable to pay back period
Is less than some pre-specified period of time

Is useful as a decision to when investment funds are limited and all available funds are allocated
