Answer:

The value of one share by the end of year 8 is $358.62

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to grow the price of the share for next 8 years in order to calculate the price of the share at the end of year 8.

Use following formula to calculate the price of one share after 8 years.

Price at the end of year 8 = Today's Price x ( 1 + Growth rate )^numbers of years

Price at the end of year 8 = $225 x ( 1 + 6% )^8

Price at the end of year 8 = $358.62
