Answer:

P14 = $55.69545045394 rounded to $55.70

Explanation:

The dividend discount model (DDM) based on constant growth can help determine the current stock price. It assesses a stock’s price using the present value of the anticipated future dividends. The formula for determining today's price with a constant growth DDM is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

• D1 represents the expected dividend for Year 1 or the following year

• g denotes the constant growth rate for dividends

• r signifies the discount rate or the required rate of return

To find the stock price today, we will utilize the dividend expected in Year 1. Consequently, to compute the stock price 14 years into the future, we calculate D15. D15 can be figured out as follows,

D15 = D1 * (1+g)^14

D15 = 0.50 * (1+0.09)^14

D15 = $1.67086351362 rounded to $1.67

Now applying the DDM formula for the price,

P14 = 1.67086351362 / (0.12 - 0.09)

P14 = $55.69545045394 rounded to $55.70

Answer:

The EPS will exceed $2.38

Explanation:

Earnings per share represent the funds available to shareholders after all expenses and taxes have been deducted. Restructuring costs are one-off expenses and are classified as other operating expenses in the Income Statement. Including these restructuring and similar charges in the Income Statement leads to reduced Earnings before Tax and eventually lower net profit. Exclusion of these costs will result in increased earnings, consequently raising the company's EPS.
