price to book and net earnings? Is the price-to-book ratio the EPS (earnings per share) and are earning yields?

Thanks in advance.
 
The book price is how much the stock is worth on a company share basis. The price on the market is the market selling price and can be compared to what the actual value of the stock is.
The portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. Earnings per share serves as an indicator of a company's profitability.
A ratio used to compare a stock's market value to its book value. It is calculated by dividing the current closing price of the stock by the latest quarter's book value per share.
