### Understanding the Relationship Between Present Value of Payments and Stock Price

In finance, the price of a stock is often evaluated in terms of the present value of expected future payments. Here are four equations that attempt to model this relationship. Let’s examine each one:

1. \( \mathbf{P_t = \dfrac{D_{t+1}^e}{(1 + r_e)} + \dfrac{D_{t+2}^e}{(1 + r_e)^2} + \dfrac{P_{t+2}^e}{(1 + r_e)^2}} \)

   This equation states that the price of the stock today (\(P_t\)) is equal to the sum of the present value of expected dividends (\(D_{t+1}^e\), \(D_{t+2}^e\)) and the present value of the expected price of the stock in the future (\(P_{t+2}^e\)), all discounted back at the required rate of return (\(r_e\)).

2. \( \mathbf{R = \dfrac{D_{t+1}^e}{P_t} + \dfrac{P_{t+1}^e - P_t}{P_t}} \)

   This formula is representative of the expected return (\(R\)). It expresses the return as the sum of the dividend yield (\(\dfrac{D_{t+1}^e}{P_t}\)) and the capital gains yield (\(\dfrac{P_{t+1}^e - P_t}{P_t}\)).

3. \( \mathbf{P_t = \dfrac{(1 + g)}{D_t (r_e - g)}} \)

   This equation is incorrect in its current form. Typically, we have the Gordon Growth Model where \(P_t = \dfrac{D_{t+1}}{(r_e - g)}\), which represents the stock price given a constant growth rate (\(g\)) of dividends.

4. \( \mathbf{P_t = \dfrac{D_{t+1}^e}{(1 + g)} + \dfrac{D_{t+2}^e}{(1 + g)^2} + \dfrac{P_{t+2}^e}{(1 + g)^2}} \)
