Peer comparables use the P/E multiple (Price / EPS). EPS = Net Income / Shares; implied price = X’s EPS × average peer P/E.

1) Relevant concepts
- EPS = Net income ÷ Shares outstanding.
- P/E = Share price ÷ EPS.
- Use the peers’ P/E multiples (average) and apply to Company X’s EPS to get implied share price.

2) Step-by-step calculations
- Peer 1 EPS = 109 ÷ 7.8 = 13.9743589744
- Peer 2 EPS = 283 ÷ 14.5 = 19.5172413793
- Company X EPS = 31 ÷ 1.2 = 25.8333333333

- Peer 1 P/E = 11 ÷ 13.9743589744 = 0.7871559633
- Peer 2 P/E = 26 ÷ 19.5172413793 = 1.3318089233

- Average peer P/E = (0.7871559633 + 1.3318089233) ÷ 2
  = 2.1189648866 ÷ 2
  = 1.0594824433

- Implied price for X = X EPS × average P/E
  = 25.8333333333 × 1.0594824433
  = 27.3699999999 ≈ 27.37 (rounded to two decimals)

3) Why this is correct
Applying the average P/E from comparable firms to Company X’s EPS gives the market-implied valuation per share consistent with peers’ pricing. All intermediate EPS and P/E computations are shown above and lead directly to the implied share price.

4) Other options / methods
No alternative multiple-choice options were provided here. Different approaches (median P/E, revenue multiples, or EV multiples) would yield different implied prices, but the stated method (average peer P/E applied to X’s EPS) produces the result above.

Final confirmation: the implied share price is 27.37, matching the provided answer.
