Answer

D.

Explanation

Computation of Market Price per Share of Stock:

Price to Earnings Ratio = Market Price per Share/Earnings per Share

So, 

Market Price per Share = Price to Earnings Ratio*Earnings per Share

Here,

Earnings Per Share = Net Income / Outstanding Shares

= $481 millions / 90 million shares  

Earnings per Share = $5.34

 

Market Price per Share = 12*$5.34 = $64.13
