kish200 saysAccording to ACCA’s latest formula table, the cost of capital formula of re= d0(1+g) is given right next to the formula for the market value of shares.

It is the 4th root, not to the power 4.

Sir is the growth mentioned (g) the growth in dividend. does it mean higher the dividend we have the pay the higher the cost of capital? is that why we are looking at the dividend growth?

Sir Do I need to watch previous lectures to understand this chapter better? Is this chapter dependent to other chapters?

It is best to watch the lectures in chapter order. This chapter isn’t heavily dependent on earlier chapters, but does assume that you understand the nature and the reason for discounting.

Sir why do we not use cost of equity in order to determine the market value of share in 2 years time. what I mean is if they require 14% they the market value in 2 years time will also should reflect this shouldn’t it?
- John Moffat says
I assume that you are referring to example 6. The MV in 2 years time is the PV of the dividends thereafter. However since all the dividends are higher than they are now due to 2 years growth, the MV (i.e. the present value) will be automatically higher than it is now by 2 years growth.

In example 6, Why is it that while using the Market value formula, the growth rate is different to using the ‘rb’ growth method.
i.e. Po= 2.80, Do= 0.20, g is unknown, Re= 0.182.80 = 0.20 (1-g)
————— , the value for g is 10.13% whereas rb gives you a vale of 6.75%.
0.18 +gCould you please let me know where I’m going wrong here?
Thank you very much.Log in to Reply

Just because the rate of return on reinvestment is 18%, it does not mean that the shareholders required rate of return is 18%.

Mr. Moffat, when calculating the figure of shareholders expected return, MUST we express all the figures in CENTS OR DOLLARS??????? I am confused……

Nevermind, I confirmed the figures myself with recalculation, I am truly sorry for disturbing the class, I truly apologize……… I really wish there was a delete option, I am truly sorry for the disturbance

If a company paid no dividend and instead re-invested all earnings in growth then how would the Cost of Equity / market value be determined?

It would still be the present value of expected future dividends and investors will be expecting dividends at some time in the future even if it is not next year.

Hello John,
Thank you for all your hard work and making this resource available free of charge.
Just to let you know in the lecture notes (for Sep-Dec 2019 exam) you need to correct a typo in the answer for chapter 17 example 2. Currently it says Do is 30c but it should be 40 (the answer is the same though).

I think the answer in example 6 is wrong.
In example 6, I can indicate that the dividend payout ratio is 0.2/0.32 = 37.5%.
I think that the proportion retained should be b = 100 – 37.5 = 62.5%.Log in to Reply
- John Moffat says
No – the answer is correct.
The dividend payout ratio is indeed 020/0.32, but that is not equal to 37.5% !! It equals 62.5%, and so the proportion retained is 100 – 62.5 = 37.5%.

Sir are this online notes are enough to study for ….or do we have to study from kaplan textbook as well …

Provided that you are watching the free lectures that work through the lecture notes, then you do not really need the Study Text – they are a complete free course and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
The book that is essential is the Revision Kit because it contains lots of past exam (and other exam standard) questions. Question practice is vital to passing the exam.

In example 6, why the market value of shares grow at the same rate of dividend, but not the required rate of return?
Log in to Reply
- John Moffat says
The market value is always the present value of the future expected dividends.
If we go forward a year in time, then the future dividends will all be higher by the dividend growth rate, and therefore the present value in a years time will also be higher by the same dividend growth rate.(the required rate of return depends on the general rates of return in the country and the riskiness of the shares – it does not depend on the dividend growth rate)
