Worked out from Dividend income: dividend = shares x dividend per share and 2 other sources.
A projection on the growth rates you entered, not a forecast. Dividends are assumed to be declared and paid on schedule and reinvested in full at the price implied by the price growth rate; brokerage commissions, plan discounts, share buy-back timing, currency conversion and any tax beyond the single rate supplied are not modelled.

How this is worked out

8 steps
  1. Dividend for this payment = 100 shares x 0.5 = 50
  2. Annual dividend per share = 0.5 x 4 payments = 2
  3. Annual income = 100 x 2 = 200
  4. Yield = 100 x 2 / 50 = 4%
  5. Starting holding: 100 shares at 50 = 5000
  6. Each of the 80 payments buys (net dividend / share price on that date) further shares
  7. After 20 years: 216.47496381732412 shares at 132.6648852572211 = 28718.626235886393
  8. Dividends received over the whole period: 10540.744614660476
