Gordon Growth Formula

Gordon Growth Formula

Gordon Growth formula has been shown below. This formula is used to calculate or predict the expected growth of the dividend.

g=Br


g=Growth
B= Proportionate of profit retained
r= Return on equity

Application of Gordon Growth Model

Growth calculated by using Gordon growth model may be  used to calculate


  1.   Cost of equity and 
  2.   Market value of share 

Calculation of Gordon Growth Model


Gordon Growth model believes that dividend will grow, if some of the profit is retained and reinvested in the company operations. It means profit retained and dividend growth has direct relationship.

Dividend Growth will increase with the increase in profit retention, this concept has been explained below.Assume that cost of equity is constant , but profit retained is increasing (Changing). Then this will result increase in Dividend Growth.

20% retention x cost of equity 12% = 2.4%
30% retention x cost of equity 12% =3.6%
70% retention x cost of equity 12% = 8.4%

Cost of Equity Example


Total Number of Share   = 200,000
Value of Net Asset         = 300,000
Market Value Per Share  = 3
Dividend Paid               = 40,000
After Tax profit             = 70,000

Calculate cost of equity and Dividend Growth?

Solution


1.    Dividend Growth

Return on Equity = Profit Post Tax
                             Net Asset

Return on Equity =  70,000 .
                           300,000

Return on Equity = 23.33%
                            
Profit Retained    = 30,000 
                           70,000

=42.8% (profit retention ratio)

 Growth = 42.8% x 23.33%

= 9.98% (Growth)


2.    Cost of Equity

Cost of Equity =    [ Do ( 1+g) ] +g    
                            Share Price

= Cost of Equity =[ 40,000 ( 1+9.98%) ] + 9.98%  
                              200,000 x 3

= 17.3% (Cost of Equity)

Share Valuation Example



Current year announced dividend = 1.5
Profit retained= 30%
Cost of equity=13%
Calculate share price?

Solution

Growth = cost of equity x profit retention

= 13% x 30%
= 3.9%

Share Price = Do ( 1+g)
                      Ke-g

Do=Current Dividend
Ke =Cost of equity
g= Dividend Growth

Share Price = 1.5(1+3.9%)
                     13%-3.9%

Share Price = 1.5(1+.039)
                        9.1%


Share Price = 17.126
