Growth rate?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
Implied growth rate as per the Gordon Growth model is:

P0 = D1 / (r-g)

D1 = P0 (r-g)

D1 / P0 = r-g

Then sub in your values in the reworked Gordon formula:

2.70 / 27 = (0.12-g)

0.10 = 0.13 - g

g = 0.13 - 0.10 = 0.03 = 3% as to problem 1 (answer b.)

I can't help you as to problem #2.
