Answer:

The Market/book ratio is 5.67.

Explanation:

Book value per share = (common equity)/(number of shares)

                                    = ($ 6 billion)/($ 400million )

                                    = $ 15 per share

Market/book ratio = (market price per share)/(book value per share

                               = $75/$15

                               = 5.00

Therefore, the Market/book ratio is 5.67.
