Yield Method Valuation of Equity Share

The yield method calculates the value of an equity share based on the expected dividend yield compared to the normal dividend yield required by investors.

Valuation Formula

The formula used in the yield method is:

$ \text{Value of Equity Share} = \frac{\text{Face Value} \times \text{Expected Rate of Return}}{\text{Normal Rate of Return}} $

Given Information

  • Face Value of Share = ₹ 50
  • Normal Rate of Return = 10%
  • Expected Rate of Return = 5%

Calculation Steps

  1. Substitute the values into the formula:

    $ \text{Value} = \frac{₹ 50 \times 5\%}{10\%} $

  2. Convert percentages to decimals:

    $ \text{Value} = \frac{₹ 50 \times 0.05}{0.10} $

  3. Calculate the numerator (expected return amount):

    $ \text{Value} = \frac{₹ 2.50}{0.10} $

  4. Divide to find the final value:

    $ \text{Value} = ₹ 25 $

Conclusion

Using the yield method, the value of the equity share is determined to be ₹ 25.
