Dear Sir, Could you please explain the calculation of new growth rate (7%) in appendix 3 of the answer. The Annual dividend per share paid for 2017 and 2018 is $0.0595 Dividend per share paid for 2019 is $0.3100. I could not get 7%.

The dividend in 2016 is $0.255 and in 2019 is $0.31 For 2016 to 2019 is 3 years growth, so the average growth rate per year = ( third root of (0.31/0.255) ) - 1 ) = 0.067 or approximately 7% per annum.
