Alright, let's think this through logically. If the stock price is $74.50 and the P/E ratio is 17, then the earnings must be about $4.28. Option A is the way to go, my dudes.

Woah, hold on, are we forgetting the most important factor here? The stock price is $74.50, which is a totally random number. Clearly, this is a question designed to make us all look like fools. Option D it is!

I don't know, guys. This seems a bit too easy. What if the company has been cooking the books? Option C, $1.70, could be the real answer. You never know these days.

Hold up, I'm not buying it. This information is not enough to calculate the earnings. It's gotta be option D. Trick question, am I right?

Nah, man, that can't be right. With a P/E of 17 and a stock price of $74.50, the earnings have got to be at least $6.20. Option B all the way!
