problem3:  The given financial information is available on Fargo Fabrics, Inc.

Current per-share market price = $20.25

Current per-share dividend = $1.12

Current per-share earnings =$2.48

Beta = .90

Expected market risk premium = 6.4%

Risk free rate [20 year treasury bonds] = 5.2%

Past ten years earnings per share:

20x1    $1.39   20x6    $1.95

20x2    1.48     20x7    2.12

20x3    1.60     20x8    2.26

20x4    1.68     20x9    2.40

20x5    1.79     20x10 2.48
