b. Use the formula given below to show that it will provide approximately the same answer as part e.

Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.

P_{0 =} D₁/K_e g

c. If current EPS were equal to $5.80 and the P/E ratio is 1.6 times higher than the industry average of 10, what would the stock price be?

d. By what dollar amount is the stock price in part g different from the stock price in part f?

e. With regard to the stock price in part f, indicate which direction it would move if:

(1) D1 increases
(2) Ke increases
(3) g increases
