Question

Which of the following assumptions would cause the constant growth stock valuation model to be invalid? The growth rate is zero. The growth rate is negative. The required rate of return is greater than the growth rate. The required rate of return is more than 50%. None of the above assumptions would invalidate the model. -Select-

Answer 1

e. None of the above assumptions would invalidate the model

Step-by-step explanation:

Incomplete question "The constant growth model is given below: P0 = [D0(1 + g)]/[(rs - g)]"

According to dividend discount model,

P0 = D1/(R-G)

D1 - Dividend at t =1

R - Required rate

G - Growth rate

This would be invalid if R < G. In other words, Dividend growth model will be invalid in only one situation, that is, when growth rate is more than require return. In this situation growth model cannot be used.
