(Related to Checkpoint 10.2)(Relative valuation of common stock)Using the P/E ratio approach to valuation, calculate the value of a share of stock under the following conditions:

the investor's required rate of return is

12 percent,

the expected level of earnings at the end of this year

(Upper E1)

is $4

the firm follows a policy of retaining

60 percent of its earnings,

the return on equity(ROE) is

16 percent, and similar shares of stock sell at multiples of

16.668 times earnings per share.

Now show that you get the same answer using the discounted dividend model.

a.The stock price using the P/E ratio valuation method is $.

(Round to the nearest cent.)

b.The stock price using the dividend discount model is $.

(Round to the nearest cent.)
