Sir, There is a question with the following information:
Year 20X6 20X2
Dividend/share 7.1c 4.2c
Earnings/share 41.3c 31.6c
we have to calculate the annual growth in each of them.The answer calculates annual growth in dividends as (7.1/4.2)^0.25
I don’t understand where is this 0.25 coming from?
Please explain meApril 20, 2019 at 2:37 pm #513589^0.25 (or ^(1/4) ) is a way of typing 4th root.
As to why we need the fourth root is explained in my free lectures 🙂
April 22, 2019 at 1:01 am #513690is that from chapter 2? I didn’t see that kind of question anywhere neither it was explained in the lecture, do I recheck?
April 22, 2019 at 10:12 am #513725No – it is explained in the free lectures on Chapter 17.
The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
April 22, 2019 at 3:13 pm #513746Do we do 1/4 because there are 4 years between 20X2 to 20X6?
April 22, 2019 at 4:23 pm #513761We take the 4th root because there are 4 years. Please watch the free lectures!
