    Explanation:

    The triple value of the earnings per share=$3.50*3=$10.50

    The growth rate is 6.6%

    Using the nper formula in excel, we can determine the number of years earnings per share would triple

    =nper (rate, pmt,-pv, fv)

    rate is 6.6%

    pmt is not applicable to the scenario, hence it is zero

    pv is the current earnings per share

    fv is the future earnings per share

    =nper (6.6%,0,-3.5,10.5) = 17.19
