Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

There are various models to determine the price of a common stock. These are as follows:

  1. The one-period valuation Model
  2. 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.

      P0=D1(1+ke)+P1(1+ke)

    where

    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

  3. The Generalized Dividend Valuation Model
  4. 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.

agree or disagree with the post  Hi Class! Egyptian dates are much sweeter! Due largely to their climate and geography, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Iran produce more dates than either the US or Canada. Dates grow best in hot dry climates with long dry growing seasons, which these nations naturally offer. They also produce a lot of dates because of their extensive agricultural, infrastructure, and centuries-old date-growing expertise. Conversely, the U.S., there aren't many places in Canada and California that are suitable for date farming, only a select few, like the Coachella Valley, in California can produce dates on a large scale. Although California produces some dates, it is not as much as countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Depending only on U.S., because of increased labor and production costs, dates grown in this way may have a limited supply and raise prices. We can obtain a greater supply of dates at competitive prices while maintaining consistent quality by…
