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.
