选项:
A.30
B.25
C.35
解释:
The formula for calculating the justified forward P/E for a stable-growth company is the payout ratio divided by the difference between the required rate of return and the growth rate of dividends. If the P/E is being calculated on trailing earnings (Year 0), the payout ratio is increased by 1 plus the growth rate. According to the 2007 income statement, the payout ratio is 18/60 = 0.30; the 2008 income statement gives the same number (24/80 = 0.30). Thus, P/E based on trailing earnings:
P/E = [Payout ratio × (1 + g)]/(r-g)
= (0.30 × 1.13)/(0.14-0.13) = 33.9
P/E based on next year’s earnings:
P/E = Payout ratio/(r-g)= 0.30/(0.14-0.13) = 30
