Consider a stock priced at $$25$ with an Earnings Per Share $($EPS$)$ of $$2.$ If you anticipate no growth opportunities for this company, implying that the EPS will remain stagnant, how does this compare to a bond offering a $8\%$ annual coupon payment, with a $30-$year maturity and sold at par value $($where the selling price equals the principal$)?$

Which investment would you prefer? Please provide your reasoning.
