Answer:

Price $17

PE ratio 8.5 times

Explanation:

As per given data

ROE = 20%,

Plowback ratio = b= 0.03,

EPS = $2,

k= 12%

As plowback referr to the retentrion value, deducting its effect from EPS

Dividend= EPS × ( 1 − b ) = $2 × ( 1 −0.03 )= $1.94

Growth = ROE x b = 20% x 0.03 = 0.006 = 0.6%

Using Dividendvaluation method we will calculate the price.

Price  = Dividend  / (Rate of return - Growth rate )

Price  = $1.94  / ( 12% - 0.6% ) = $17

P / E Ratio = Price / EPS = $17 / $2 = 8.5
