    The target share price is $53.69

    Explanation:

    In calculating the target share price in five years from now, it would be appropriate to determine the value of EPS in five years timing horizon using the future value formula which is given as:

    fv=pv * (1+r) ^N

    PV is the present eps of $1.7

    r is the eps growth rate of 7.5%

    N is five years

    fv=$1.70 * (1+7.5%) ^5

    fv=2.440569854

    Hence the target share price is computed using the P/E ratio:

    P/E ratio=Price/EPS

    Price is unknown]

    EPS is 2.440569854

    P/E ratio is 22

    22=price/2.440569854

    price=22*2.440569854

    price is $53.69
