    sir,

    I am struggling with the working of average dividend growth rate.
    How did the examiner worked to get a 3.1%??

    Thank you.

    The dividend has grown from 40c to 42.5c over 2 years.

    Therefore, if the growth rate is g, then:

    g = (square root of 42.5/40.0 ) – 1 = 0.031 (or 3.1%)

    I do explain the calculation of past growth rates in my free lectures (and it is commonly required in the exam). The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F9 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
