    Financial Ratio
    Now we have to do financial ratios, which I know how to do. My problem is that I am not sure on which figures to use for certain formulas:

    Price/earnings (P/E) Price per share/Earnings per share



    Market/book (M/B) Market price per share/Book value per share



    Ok now below is some information from Wal-Mart financial statements where we get our figures from


    Now here are the links to look for the figures we need, but not sure which figure i use:

    For Price per share and Earnings per share

    - WAL MART STORES INC Balance Sheet - Forbes.com


    The link for Market book per share and Book value per share

    WMT: Key Statistics for WAL MART STORES - Yahoo! Finance

    Now looking under that link, I am assuming that the Market Book per share would be
    Book Value Per Share (mrq): 16.978001

    Can someone please direct me to the correct numbers i need to use in order to do my calculations. Thanks
