The company is paid out dividend of INR 6.00.
Under the assumption that the company will keep paying constant dividend of INR 6.00. The growth
rate has been found by formula b X r where b is the retention rate and r is the return on equity.
Here the growth rate has come out to be 7.4%.
Formulae:
Growth rate = Retention rate(b) x Return on Equity(r)
Retention rate = 1 - dividend payout ratio
Dividend payout ratio = DPS/EPS
