The intrinsic value = $469.15

Explanation:

The price earning (P/E) ratio can be used to determine the price of a stock. This is done as follows:

Price = EPS * P/E ratio

It is appropriate to use the industry average price-earning ratio for the purpose of this valuation.

The intrinsic value = 19.75 * $5.50 = $469.15
