Assume an investor uses the constant-growth DVM to value a stock. Listed are various situations that could affect the computed value of a stock. Look at each one of these individually and indicate whether it would cause the computed value of a stock to go up, go down, or stay the same. Briefly explain your answers. Dividend payout ratio goes up. Stock’s beta rises. Market return increases. Assume throughout that the current dividend (D0) remains the same and that all other variables in the model are unchanged.

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.
Suppose a stock is not currently paying dividends, and its management has announced that it will not pay a dividend for several years, but that it does expect to start paying dividends sometime in the future. Under these conditions, which of the following statements is most correct? Since it is expected to someday pay dividends, the value of the stock today can be found with this equation: PO = D1/(r - g). Under these conditions, we can estimate a value for the stock, but we cannot use any form of the constant growth DCF model to do so. Such a stock should have a value of zero until it actually begins paying dividends. The value of the stock can be found using DCF procedures by finding the present value of expected future dividends accounting for their timing and amount.
1. The rate at which a stock's price is expected to appreciate (or depreciate) is called the yield. A. current B. total C. dividend D. capital gains 2. The underlying assumption of the dividend growth model is that a stock is worth: A. the present value of the future income that the stock generates. B. the same amount to every investor regardless of his desired rate of return. C. an amount computed as the next annual dividend divided by the market rate of retum. D. an amount computed as the next annual dividend divided by the required rate of return. 3. The total rate of return earned on a stock is composed of which two of the following? 1. current yield II. yield to maturity III. dividend yield IV. capital gains yield A. I and II only B. I and IV only C. II and III only D. III and IV only 4. Which one of the following correctly defines the constant dividend growth model? A. R = (D₁ Po) + g B. Po = (D₁R) + g C. R=(Po Do) + g D. Po = Do ] (R-g) 5. How much are you willing to pay for one…

________ is a model for determining the price of a stock, based on a future series of dividends that grow at a constant rate.
The dividend-growth model may be used to value a stock: Round your answers to the nearest cent. a. What is the value of a stock if: Do = $2.30 k = 8% 9 = 5% V = Do(1+g) k-9 $ b. What is the value of this stock if the dividend is increased to $4.30 and the other variables remain constant? $ c. What is the value of this stock if the required return declines to 6 percent and the other variables remain constant? $ d. What is the value of this stock if the growth rate declines to 3 percent and the other variables remain constant? $ e. What is the value of this stock if the dividend is increased to $2.90, the growth rate declines to 3 percent, and the required return remains 8 percent? $
The dividend-growth model may be used to value a stock: Do(1+9) V = k - g Round your answers to the nearest cent. a. What is the value of a stock if: Do = $3.10 k = 12% 9 = 8% b. What is the value of this stock if the dividend is increased to $4.30 and the other variables remain constant? $ c. What is the value of this stock if the required return declines to 9 percent and the other variables remain constant? d. What is the value of this stock if the growth rate declines to 5 percent and the other variables remain constant? e.

Answer this question based on the dividend growth model. If you expect the required rate of return to increase across the board on all equity securities, then you should also expect: Group of answer choices An increase in all stock values. Negative stock values. An increase or a decrease in all stock values. A decrease in all stock values. All stock values to remain constant.
