    Calculating the dividend growth rate
    I am having an issue trying to calculate the yearly dividend growth rate. There is a total of 10 annual dividends for the following:
    Year Dividend
    2010 0.944 Dividend
    2009 0.90 Dividend
    2008 0.90 Dividend
    2007 0.90 Dividend
    2006 0.675 Dividend
    2005 0.40 Dividend
    2004 0.325 Dividend
    2003 0.26 Dividend
    2002 0.21 Dividend
    2001 0.17 Dividend
    2000 0.15 Dividend

    What I need to find is the total dividend growth rate for each year starting in D0. Can someone help?

    The wording of your question implies that you're looking for 10 separate, year-over-year growth rates (i.e. the growth from 2000 to 2001; from 2001 to 2002,. ) If so, use

    to get the percentage increase or decrease (in decimal form) from one year to the next. denote the dividend for any year n, and for the immediately preceding year, respectively.

    If instead you wanted an overall average growth from 2000 to 2010, that's a different matter. Check back in if so.
