Procter and Gamble Stock Dividends: A Game-Based Guide to Indian Market Strategy
In a fictional strategy game set in the Indian market, players must navigate challenges to maximize returns from Procter & Gamble (P&G) stock dividends. Here’s a step-by-step "answer" to game objectives:
1. Task: Calculate P&G’s Dividend Yield in Indian Rupees
Step 1: Check P&G’s latest dividend per share (DPS) in USD (e.g., $1.24 annual dividend).
Step 2: Convert USD to INR using the game’s real-time exchange rate (e.g., 1 USD = 85 INR).
DPS in INR = $1.24 × 85 = 106 INR.
Step 3: Divide by P&G’s current stock price in INR (e.g., ₹1,250).
Dividend Yield = (106 / 1,250) × 100 = 8.48%.
Game Reward: Unlock "Dividend Master" badge.
2. Challenge: Predict 5-Year Dividend Growth
Rule 1: P&G’s historical CAGR (2018–2023) = 7.2% (game data).
Rule 2: Apply inflation (5% in India) and currency volatility (INR/USD).
Calculation:
Future DPS (2024) = 1.24 × (1 + 7.2%) × (1 – 2.5% currency loss) = 1.31.
Achievement: "CAGRTurbo" multiplier +15% yield bonus.

P&G Data: 62 consecutive years of dividend hikes (game history).
Unilever Data: 54 years (slower growth).
Win Condition: Choose P&G to gain "SteadyGrowth+3" stock pack.
