Suppose Beth just bought stock in CleanAir Co., a renewable energy startup, and that Beth estimates there will be a dividend of $7 per share, paid annually, forever. If the discount rate on the stock is 9 percent, then using the discount dividend model, the value of the stock is: $67.67 per share $71.56 per share $77.78 per share $84.78 per share Now suppose Beth estimates that there will be a dividend of $7 per share paid out next year, and that the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 2 percent per year. If the required rate of return on the stock is 9 percent, then using the discount dividend model, the value of the stock is: $89.00 per share $94.00 per share $100.00 per share $106.00 per share Which of the following are limitations to the dividend discount model? Check all that apply. It can result in inaccurate valuations when the dividend growth rate is incorrectly estimated. It can result in inaccurate valuations when the required rate of return by investors is incorrectly estimated. It assumes that uncertainty cannot be accounted for because it doesn’t allow expectations about investors’ required rate of return to change. It can result in inaccurate valuations when the firm being evaluated retains a small percentage of its earnings, distributing most of them as dividends.

Investors would agree with a decision to reduce the cash they receive from current dividends so long as this pool of retained (undistributed) earnings is reinvested in the firm at a rate of return on invested capital that is: A. Greater than zero B. Greater than the investor's opportunity cost/discount rate C. Less than the investor's opportunity cost/discount rate but above 5% 1. A and C are true 2. None of these are true 3. Only B is true 4. Only A is true 5. Only C is true
