You will be marked based on the following categories : Data , Sources , Calculations , Documentation , and Presentation.
For this section, you will use the constant-growth dividend discount model to estimate your company’s expected rate of return. You will assume that the company is attempting to achieve a constant growth rate with its dividends and calculate that growth rate. The growth rate plus the expected dividend yield will give the expected rate of return.
Historical Growth:
Data Required: for the period May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2022.  Use the ex-dividend date as the date of the dividend.  The date provided by Yahoo Finance is the ex-dividend date.
⦁ A good source is the company’s website although the reported dividends may not have been adjusted for splits, so you will have to make the adjustment.
⦁ Another good source is Yahoo Finance Canada but it sometimes misses dividends, double lists dividends, or records them incorrectly, so it is best to verify by checking the company’s website.
⦁ Only the regular quarterly dividends should be included.  Do not include any extra or special dividends.
⦁ The April 30, 2022 closing stock price for your company.
⦁ This can be found on Yahoo Finance Canada, the Toronto Stock Exchange, or many other financial websites
Calculations:
⦁ Calculate the annual dividends that your company paid. Sum the four quarterly dividends paid between May of one year and April of the next year for each of the 5 years of data you have collected.
⦁ In some cases the company may have changed its dividend payment dates so that you may get a year with 5 dividends and/or a year with 3 dividends. You may need to make an adjustment so that you are always working with 4 dividends .
