√(22.50 × $4.14 × $25.42)
Benjamin Graham paid no more than a P/E of 15 and a P/B of 1.5. Their product, 22.5, times earnings (EPS) and book value per share gives the fair price.

$3.20 (5-year average) ÷ 6%
Décio Bazin only bought stocks yielding at least 6% a year in distributions. The ceiling price is the average dividend per share of recent years over 6%.
Graham ignores growth and debt; Bazin assumes past distributions repeat. They are references to compare, not a buy recommendation.
