Answer:
17.19 years
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
