What determines whether to use the dividend growth model approach or the CAPM approach to calculate the cost of equity?
CAPM model is used when the company doesnt declare dividends for
longer periods of time.It is a better and complex method because it
utilises risk free return , variance of marke return (volatilty
)and includes systematic risk.
It is easy to identify returns and beta of similar industries based
on CAPM model.
Return on equity of investor = cost of equity to company (issuer of
security)
CAPM model Return on Equity = risk free return + beta * market risk
premium.
Dividend growth model can be used where the company declares and
provides dividends regularly. However higher dicidend payout ratio
can lead to lower retention ratio and lower growth. I can be used
to used to determine returns of similar industries as dividedn
payout is different even wthin same industry.
Best of Luck God Bless
