    5.63x

  2. 4.37x

    Correct answer

  3. C

    5.99x

  4. D

    3.84x

Why this is the answer

P/B ratio = Market Capitalization ÷ Net Worth. Market Cap = 10 million × 35 = 350 million. Net Worth = 120 − 40 = 80 million. P/B = 350 ÷ 80 ≈ 4.37x. It measures how much investors are paying for each unit of net assets.
