An investor has carefully studied a number of companies and their common stock. From his analysis, he has decided that the stocks of six firms are the best of the many he has examined.

He plans to keep the stock for 4 years and requires a 10% minimum attractive rate of return. Which stock from Table P5-63, if any, should the investor consider purchasing?
