Certainly, let's solve Question 3 using the Walter Model formula.

The formula is as follows:

P=

r−g

D×(E+Pb)

Where:

P = Market price per share

D = Dividend per share

E = Earnings per share


Pb = Retained earnings per share

r = Required rate of return (capitalization rate)

g = Dividend growth rate

Given values:

E = Rs 10

r = 10%

Dividend pay-out options: 20%, 50%, 80%

Calculation for 20% Dividend Pay-out:

0.20

0.20

10

D=0.20×E=0.20×10=Rs2

Pb=E−D=10−2=Rs8

Substitute these values into the formula:

Explanation:
The market price per share is calculated for each dividend pay-out option (20%, 50%, 80%) using the
Walter Model formula.

The market price increases as the dividend pay-out decreases because a higher retention ratio leads to
higher expected growth in dividends and, consequently, a higher market value of the share.
