This model is the best for the comparison of the nominal growth rate for the economy and the establishment of the dividend payout policies. The model offers the estimation of the stock in the Pound Land Corporations that is consistent to the payment that can be afforded and accumulated in the process. This price represents the current value of the revenue streams. The model incorporates the following assumptions for a valuation. The rate should be in a stable growth that is based in the area and size that the corporation serves and is regulated, (Baker, 2009). The other assumption is that the stock exchange market wills not all the Pound Land Corporation’s stock to grow to extraordinary rates. The Pound Land Corporation will be expected to be in stable leverage for the different activities that will be required to be performed.
The model is analyzed through Gordon Growth Model. The management will require the investors to purchase the stocks that she expected to obtain from the two types of cash flow dividends and through the periods that were held on the stock. The rationale of the technique is that the value of the asset and the present value of he expected future cash flow will offer the discounting rate for the overall riskiness of the cash flows, (Louse, 2009). The obtaining of the expected dividends affects the making of the assumption with regard to the return on stocks that are measured differently with different models, (Lee, 2011). The method requires the valuation of the Pound Land Corporation that is in the steady state of operation. The method assumes that the form will increase its dividends rate at a value that will increase forever. The model assumes that the Pound Land Corporation’s dividends and other earnings or measures of performance will grow at the same rate as compared to the other stock valuations.
