fin 305 chapter 8 question 12

Suppose that a firm’s recent earnings per share and dividend per share are $3.40 and $3.10, respectively. Both are expected to grow at 8 percent. However, the firm’s current P/E ratio of 32 seems high for this growth rate. The P/E ratio is expected to fall to 28 within five years.

Compute the dividends over the next five years. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 3 decimal places.)
