Answer:
12.75 years
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
The earnings of Brockman Corporation per share  is =$3.50
The growth rate in 5 years = 9.0%
Now,
We apply this formula which is stated below:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
P = present value
n = period of time
r = the rate of interest
Thus,
(3*3.5)=3.5*(1.09)^n
3=(1.09)^n
By applying long on either side we have the following
log 3=n*log (1.09)
n=log 3/log (1.09)
Approximately, this is equal to =12.75 years
Therefore, it will take Brockman's EPS to triple in 12 .75 years.
