Constant Growth Model (infinite) - correct answer a widely cited dividend valuation
approach that assumes that dividends will grow at a constant rate, but a rate that is less
than the required return
Constant Growth Model (finite) - correct answer Should include terminal value (what you
sell it for) @ end
To do so you calculate the non-constant growth rate until horizon date T...then calculate
the terminal value as you would in an infinite CGM w/ denominator raised to power T
Expected rate of return (constant growth model) - correct answer The rate of return
expected to be realized from an investment; the weighted average of the probability
distribution of possible results

value of an investment grows
Dividend Yield - correct answer a stock's expected cash dividend divided by its current
price
Terminal value (Horizon Value) - correct answer the sale price at the end of the

Perpetual Growth Method - correct answer dividing the last cash flow forecast by the
difference between the discount rate and terminal growth rate. The terminal value
calculation estimates the value of the company after the forecast period.
(FCF * (1 + g)) / (d - g)
