A. Price-sales ratio

Explanation:

The formulas to compute these ratios are shown below:

1. Price sales ratio = (Market price per share) ÷ (Total sales per share)

where,  

Total sales per share = (total sales) ÷ (Number of shares)

2. Market to book ratio = (Market price per share) ÷ (book value per share)

3. Profit margin = (Profit earned ÷ Sales revenue) × 100

It can be gross profit or net profit

4. Return on Equity = Net income ÷ Shareholder equity
