Answer:

a)P_5 = $161.3

b) P'_5 = $176

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The earnings per share today Eo = $6.07

- The P/E ratio = 16.5

- The growth rate of dividend R = 10 %

Find:

a) What would be the stock price in five years if the P/E ratio remained unchanged?

b) What would the price be if the P/E ratio increased to 18 in five years?

Solution:

- The factor of increase per year of dividend can be determined:

                          1  -----------> 100

                          x   ----------> 110

                          x = 110*1 / 100 = 1.1

- The value of earnings/ share in n number of years time is given by:

                          E_n = Eo*x^n

                          E_5 = $6.07*1.1^5

                          E_5 = $9.7757957

- The Price of the stock is expressed by the ratio:

                          P_n / E_n = 16.5

                          P_5 = 16.5*E_5

                          P_5 = 16.5*$9.7757957

                          P_5 = $161.3

- If the P/E ratio decreases to 18 in 5 years then stock price while earnings increased at rate of 10% is:

                          P'_5 = 18*$9.7757957

                          P'_5 = $176

9/10-1/3-1/5 find the fraction
Zanzabum
Find a common multiple in between the denominators.
10 and 3 and 5 -> the least common multiple is 30.

Change all the denominators to 30 by multiplying the top and bottom by the same number.

9/10=27/30
1/3=10/30
1/5=6/30

Subtract!
27/39-10/30-6/30=11/30

The answer is 11/30

Hope this helps!
