Question

A. Stock pricing model
B. Equity pricing model
C. Capital gain model
D. Dividend growth model
E. Present value model

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: D) Dividend growth model

Explanation:

The dividend growth model is a stock valuation model which calculates the fair market value of stock by assuming that the stock's dividends grow at a stable rate in perpetuity.

The dividend growth model determines if a stock is overpriced or underpriced, based on the assumption that the stock's expected dividends grow at a given value (g) forever, which is subtracted from the return rate (r).

Price = Dividend / ( r – g )
