a. $12.08 per share
Explanation:
For computing the next year stock we have to do the following calculations
Current Earning per share = Net Income ÷ Number of Common Shares Outstanding
= $9,750,000 ÷ 5,500,000 shares
= $1.77
Current Price Earning ratio = Current stock price ÷ Current EPS
= $14.74 ÷ $1.77
= 8.33
Now Next year earning per share = $9,750,000 × 1.25 ÷ 8,400,000 shares = $1.45
So, the next year stock price = $1.45 x 8.33
= $12.08 per share
