Calculate the Present Value of Growth Opportunities [PVGO] based on: Earnings Per Share = $8.00, Required Rate of Return = 14%, Dividends Per Share = $1.50, Return on Equity = 16%.
A company's 12-month trailing earnings per share [EPS] are $4.50, and is expected to grow 10% annually. If an investor is willing to pay a P/E multiple that is no higher than 2.5 times its growth rate, and the stock is currently selling at $100 per share, would this be an acceptable purchase price? Explain and support your answer with numbers.
