Suppose a company just paid a dividend of $1.15. The dividends are expected to grow at 10 percent over the next five years. The company has a payout ratio of 40 percent and a benchmark PE of 19. The required return is 11 percent a. What is the target stock price in five years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the stock price today? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Stock price in five years a. b.
