Explanation of Solution

There are various models to determine the price of a common stock. These are as follows:

  1. The one-period valuation Model
  2. Under this model, the price of the stock is calculated only for a year period, i.e., an investor keeps a stock only for a year period.

    To value the stock today, the present discounted value of the expected cash flow(future payment) is calculated. The cash flow consists of dividend payment and sale price.

      P0=D1(1+ke)+P1(1+ke)

    where

    D1= dividend given by the corporation at the end of the year

    P0= Current value of the stock P1= the expected sales price of the stock

    Ke= The required return on equity

  3. The Generalized Dividend Valuation Model
  4. Under this model, the price of a stock is calculated for n-number of periods. The value of a stock today is the present value of the future cash flows. The only cash flow is a dividend and a final sales price when the stock is ultimately sold after n-period.
