Answer:

4.267 times

Explanation:

The computation of market to book ratio is shown below:

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

where,

Book value per share would be

= (Total common equity) ÷ (number of shares)

= ($6 billion) ÷ (800 million shares)

= $7.5 per share

So, the ratio would be

= $32 ÷ $7.5

= 4.267 times
