Suppose potter ltd. just issued a dividend of $2.50 per share on its common stock. the company paid dividends of $2.00, $2.07, $2.24, and $2.34 per share in the last four years. what was the dividend growth rate for each year? (do not round intermediate

Explanation:

Using dividend growth model formula for finding dividend per year can be used to find the growth rate per year;

The formula would be D1 = D0(1+g)

and D2 = D1(1+g)

D3 = D2 (1+g)  and so on

Starting with 2.00 dividend,  growth rate from yr1-yr2;

2.07 = 2.00*(1+g)

Divide both sides by 2.00;

1+g = 2.07/ 2.00

1+g = 1.035

g = 1.035-1

g ( y1-y2) = 0.035 or 3.5%

Growth rate from yr2-yr3;

2.24 = 2.07(1+g)

Divide both sides by 2.07;

2.24/2.07 = 1+g

1.0821 = 1+g

1.0821-1 = g

g= 0.0821 or 8.21%

Therefore, g(y2-y3) = 8.21%

Growth rate from yr3-yr4;

2.34 = 2.24(1+g)

Divide both sides by 2.24;

2.34/2.24 = 1+g

1.0446 = 1+g

1.0446 -1 =g

g =0.0446 or 4.46%

Therefore, g(y3-y4) = 4.46%

Growth rate from yr4-yr5;

2.50 = 2.34(1+g)

2.50/2.34 = 1+g

1.0684 = 1+g

1.0684-1 = g

g=0.0684 or 6.84%

Therefore, g(y4-y5) = 6.84%

explanation:

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
