So, this makes me feel pretty stupid, but whatever… I’m trying to learn the dividend discount model and I’m struggling with some pretty basic algebra here. I attached a study question as an example.
How did they solve for the required rate of return? Specifically where the heck does the -.70 come from?
I know this is fucking 9th grade level stuff here…
Thanks,
Chris
They multiplied both sides by (x - .05)
.05 x 14 is .7

I just found out Aaron Lewis went country…
Don’t feel so bad.
2.10/(x-1/20) = 14 becomes…
14*(x-1/20) = 2.10 distribute the 14…
14x-7/10 = 2.1 …
14x = 7/10+2.1 = 7/10 + 21/10 = 28/10 = 2.8
x = whatever since I don’t have a calculator.
The explanation they give is kind of crappy so don’t feel bad.

Lol!
Thanks Aero.
If it makes you feel any better, at work the other day, I could not remember how to spell the word “shelves.” I sat there staring at the paper until it came to me… I felt like I had regressed.
