To calculate a growth rate using the Gordon Growth model, we use four variables (one being the growth rate itself). If we have any three of the variables, we can solve for the fourth. The four variables are: stock price, dividend, required return, and dividend growth rate. The data presented are sufficient for the calculation of three of the variables for both companies.
Benson Orchards
We know the most recent dividend and the estimate stock return. From the P/E ratio and the trailing profits, we can determine the stock price. From those three pieces of data, we can calculate the dividend growth rate.
Terra Firma
We have the dividend. We can determine the stock price by dividing market value by shares outstanding. We can derive the estimated stock return using the capital asset pricing model. From those three statistics, we can create a Gordon Growth model and solve for the dividend-growth rate.
