This is probably going to sound so stupid but how do you estimate the dividend growth in the past on the calculator. in one question the equation is β4 square root (33000/28000) = 1.042 i cannot for the life of me get this equation to work on the calculator.
Any help would be great. ThanksOctober 21, 2012 at 6:00 am #105813Just take the square root twice π
October 21, 2012 at 10:11 am #105814Or
33/28 = 1.17857
press 4 then ‘shift’ then you will see there is a ‘^’ sign, on the top of it there is x square root, so it would appear like this : 4 x square root (1.17857) =1.04193

October 21, 2012 at 5:57 pm #105816acca13…….you are right, provided that it is a calculator with Polish logic. Its a real problem because there are two types of logic for calculators and it all depends which type she is using π
