On this basis, what should the initial P/E be for the firm?(Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

5. The Pioneer Petroleum Corporation has a bond outstanding with an $60 annual interest payment, a market price of $850, and a maturity date in five years. Assume the par value of the bond is $1,000.
