Both are same Numerator D 0 x ( 1+ g) = Next year dividend ; E x ( 1-b) = Earnings x payout ratio next year Denominator g = br i.e growth rate = return rate on capital x retention rate
but when apply the same for rtp nov20 question , I am not getting the same answer

Swathi KrishnaSir, I was talking about Gordon's formula
My suggestion always apply d0 x ( 1+g) and state an assumption that the given dividend is dividend for year ( unless they specifically state in the question that the given dividend is for next year) and you are computing price based on next year's dividend. What you have done is correct
