C. the same amount as any other stock that pays the same current dividend and has the same required rate of return.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. the present value of the future dividends the company pays.

Explanation:

The net present value (NPV) of a project can be defined as the difference between present value of cash-inflow into a project and that of cash-outflow over a specific period of time. Thus, it is simply the value of all cash-flows for a project with respect to its life span.

The underlying assumption of the dividend discount model is that a stock is worth the present value of the future dividends the company pays.

Generally, all financial assets or securities can be securitized i.e turned into a tradable item that can be used to generate money for a potential investor or the owner of the financial asset.

For example, a mortgage backed security can be used as securitization.
