Answer:
$50
Explanation:
Given,
Current Net income = $2,000,000
No. of common shares today = 500,000
Current market price per share = $40
Anticipated Net income in 1 year = $ 3,250,000
Anticipated No. of common shares in 1 year = 500,000 +150000 =650,000
From this data, then
The current Earnings Per Share(EPS) = ![\frac{2,000,000}{500,000} = 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2%2C000%2C000%7D%7B500%2C000%7D%20%3D%204)
Current Price/Earning ratio = ![\frac{ Price per share}{EPS} = \frac{40}{4} = 10](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%20Price%20per%20share%7D%7BEPS%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B40%7D%7B4%7D%20%3D%2010)
Anticipated EPS in 1 year=![\frac{Anticipated Net income in 1 year }{Anticipated No. of common shares in 1 year } = \frac{3,250,000}{650,000} = $5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BAnticipated%20Net%20income%20in%201%20year%20%7D%7BAnticipated%20No.%20of%20common%20shares%20in%201%20year%20%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B3%2C250%2C000%7D%7B650%2C000%7D%20%3D%20%245)
If the company's P/E ratio remain as that of the current at 10, then
The anticipated price of stock in 1 year = Anticipated EPS * P/E ratio in 1 year
= $5 *10 = $50
