Explanation / Answer

Net Income = $927200

No of shares outstanding = 200000 shares

..

Therefore, earnings per share (EPS) = Net Income/ No of shares outstanding

= 927200/200000

= $4.636 per share

..

Given, Benchmark P/E ratio = 25

Therefore, target stock price in one year = EPS* Benchmark P/E ratio

= 4.636*25

= $115.90
