Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The Target stock price in five years is

As we know that

Target stock price in five years = Earnings per share in Year 5 × Benchmark P/E Ratio

where,

Earnings per share in Year 5 is

= D5 ÷ Pay-out Ratio

Now

D0 = $1.15 per share

D1 = $1.15 × 1.10 = $1.265per share

D2 = $1.265 × 1.10 = $ 1.3915

D3 = $1.3915 × 1.10 = $1.53065

D4 = $1.53065 × 1.10 = $1.683715

D5 = $1.683715 x 1.10 = $1.85209

Now

Earnings per share in Year 5 is

= D5 ÷ Pay-out Ratio

= $1.85209 ÷ 0.40

= $4.630225

Now

The Target stock price in five years is

= Earnings per share  in Year 5 × Benchmark P/E Ratio

= $4.630225 × 19 Times

= $87.97;

b. Now the stock price today is to be shown in the spreadsheet below
