Explanation / Answer

29. Dividend Pay out Ratio = Dividend/Earning Per Share

Dividend= $ 2.48

Earning Per Share = $ 4.95

Dividend Pay Out = 2.48/4.95 = .5010 or 50.10%

30. Expected Payout = 50.10%

Expected EPS = $5.53

Expected Dividend = 5.53*.5010 = 2.77 $

31. Price Today = (Expected Price+Expected Dividend)/(1+ke)1

Where ke= Required Return = 7.25 %

So Price Today = (60.48+2.77)/(1+.0725)

= $58.97

32. Since Fair value is more than Actual Price, The Share is under Valued.

And the same should be bought.
