In order to find the estimated market value of an equity share of Heav Co, the following data has been provided by its finance manager:
Constant dividend payout ratio = 40%.
Recent payment of dividend = €0.20 per equity share
Return on all new investments from retained profits = 10%.
The estimated market value of equity share would therefore be:
a €2.15
b €3.47
c €5.00
d €5.30
Answer – D
The annual rate of growth in future dividends – g = bR is 10% x 60% = 6%
Using the dividend growth model, the expected market value of each share is:
Po = Do(1 + g)/(r – g)
Po = 0·20(1 + 0·06)/0·10 – 0·06) = €5·30
John, I need a clarification on the first line where 10% x 60%. How the 60% percent is derived here? Could you please explain?
Thanks a lot,
If 40% is paid as dividend, then 60% is retained.
