. Assuming the company continues its current growth rate, what is the value per share of the company’s stock?2. To verify their calculations, Ragan, Inc. has hired an equity analyst familiar with the HVAC industry who has examined Ragan Inc.’s financial statements as well as those of its competitors. Although Ragan, Inc. currently has a technological advantage, the consultant’s research indicates that other companies are investigating methods to improve efficiency and the consultant believes that Ragan’s technological advantage will only last for the next five years. After that period, the company’s growth will likely slow to the industry growth average.

Like many small business owners, they would like to retain control of the company, but they do not want to sell stock to outside investors. They also feel that the company’s debt is at a manageable level and do not want to borrow more money. How can they increase the price of the stock? Are there any conditions under which such an action would not increase the stock price? Explain
