Explanation:

Given SE = $6 MIL, NI= $906 000, Div= $408180, Shares= 200000, PE ratio= 24 , SP =?

W e will use the price earning ratio as we are are given the benchmark PE ratio and this ratio measures the stock price relative to it profits

PE = Stock price / Earnings per share

Need to calculate Earnings per share

EPS = net Income - dividends/ oustanding Shares

=906000-480180/200000

=$2.1291/$2.13

Sustitute in the formula for PE ratio

24 = Stock Price/2.13

Stock Price = $51.12

Therefore the target stock price in year 1 is $51.12
