Question

A company's share is currently selling for Rs. 50 and is expecting a dividend of Rs. 3 per share after one year which is expected to grow at 8% indefinitely. What is the equity capitalisation rate?

The correct answer is

14 percent

The constant-growth dividend model gives \(k_e=D_1/P_0+g\). Thus \(k_e=3/50+0.08=0.06+0.08=0.14\), or 14%.
