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?
