Answer:
The growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) is 15.97%
Explanation:
Assuming annual growth rate is r%, hence
$0.5 x (1 + r)^10 = $2.20
(1 + r)10 = $2.20 / $0.5
(1 + r)10 = $4.4
Taking 10th root at each side,
(1 + r)10 = $4.4
[tex]\sqrt[10]{1 + r}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt[10]{4.4}[/tex]
1+r = 1.1597
r = 1.1597 - 1
r = 0.1597
r= 15.97%
