Explanation of Solution

- The Generalized Dividend Valuation Model Under this model, the price of a stock is calculated for n-number of periods. The value of a stock today is the present value of the future cash flows. The only cash flow is a dividend and a final sales price when the stock is ultimately sold after n-period.
- The Gorden-Growth Model
Under this model, the price of the stock is calculated only for a year period, i.e., an investor keeps a stock only for a year period.
To value the stock today, the present discounted value of the expected cash flow(future payment) is calculated. The cash flow consists of dividend payment and sale price.

D1= dividend given by the corporation at the end of the year
P0= Current value of the stock P1= the expected sales price of the stock
Ke= The required return on equity
where
Dn= dividend given by the corporation at the end of n periods
P0= current price of a stock
Pn= Price of stock after n-periods
Ke= the required return on equity
