Ten years ago, Lucas Inc. earned $0.50 per share. Its earnings this year were $5.00. What was the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) over the 10-year period?

25.89%

Explanation:

With regards to the above information, initial earning = $0.50

Final earnings = $5.0

Number of periods = 10 years

We can formulate the above into an equation, which will now be:

$5.00 = $0.5 ( 1 + rate )^ 10

We can simplify furthermore.

1 + rate ^ 10 = 5 / 0.5

1 + rate ^ 10 = 10

1 + rate ^ 10 = 10^1/10

1 + rate = 10 ^ 0.1

1 t rate = 1.2589

rate = 1.2589 - 1

rate = 0.2589

rate = 25.89%

Therefore, the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) over the 10 year period is 25.89% .
