How could you use the nonconstant growth modelto find the value of the stock? Here you can assumethat the expected growth rate starts at a high level,then declines for several years, and finally reachesa steady state where growth is constant.
One stock valuation model holds that the value of a share of stock is a function of its futuredividends, and that the dividends will increase at an annual rate which will remain unchangedover time. This stock valuation model is known as the *
A.approximate yield model.
B.holding period return model.
C.constant growth dividend valuation model.
D.dividend reinvestment model.
The dividend yield (i.e. D1/P0) is a good measure of the expected return on a common stock under which of the following circumstances?
g = 0
g > 0
g < 0
g is expected to remain constant over time
under no circumstances
