1. Mohini Kapadia is the portfolio manager of an India - based equity fund. He is analyzing the value of Reliance Capital. Gupta has concluded that the DDM is appropriate to value the company. During the past five years (fiscal year ending 31 March 2014 to fiscal year ending June 2020), the company has paid dividends per share of Rs.5.50, 6.50, 7.00, 8.00, and 9.00, respectively.

He estimates the growth rate to be 11 percent in stage 1 and 9 percent in stage 3. Gupta has estimated the required return on equity for Reliance Capital to be 13 percent.
