Chapter 9, Problem 33QP
Growth Opportunities The Stambaugh Corporation currently has earnings per share of $8.20. The company has no growth and pays out all earnings as dividends. It has a new project that will require an investment of $1.95 per share in one year. The project is only a two-year project, and it will increase earnings in the two years following the investment by $2.75 and $3.05, respectively. Investors require a return of 12 percent on Stambaugh stock.
