Answer:

a. The estimate of the current stock price is $37.62

b. The target stock price in one year is $40.065

c. The implied return on the company's stock over the next year, Assuming the company pays no dividends is 6.51%

Explanation:

a. In order to calculate estimate of the current stock price would have to mak the following calculation:

current stock price=EPS*PE

current stock price=$2.09*18

current stock price=$37.62

The estimate of the current stock price is $37.62

b. To calculate the target stock price in one year we would have to make the following calculation:

target stock price in one year=EPS in one year* PE

EPS in one year=EPS*(1+percentage of Earnings expected to grow)

EPS in one year=$2.09*(1+0.065)

EPS in one year=$2.226

Therefore, target stock price in one year=$2.226*18

target stock price in one year=$40.065

The target stock price in one year is $40.065

c. To calculate the implied return on the company's stock over the next year Assuming the company pays no dividends we would have to use the following formula:

implied return on the company's stock over the next year=P1-P0/P0

implied return on the company's stock over the next year=$40.065-$37.62/$37.62

implied return on the company's stock over the next year=6.51%

The implied return on the company's stock over the next year, Assuming the company pays no dividends is 6.51%
