    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 me

    ^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 🙂

    is that from chapter 2? I didn’t see that kind of question anywhere neither it was explained in the lecture, do I recheck?

    No – 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.

    Do we do 1/4 because there are 4 years between 20X2 to 20X6?
