Which of the following statements will always hold true?
it will never be appropriate for a rapidly growing startup company that pays no dividends at present—but is expected to pay dividends at some point in the future—to use the constant growth valuation formula.
the constant growth valuation formula is not appropriate to use unless the company’s growth rate is expected to remain constant in the future.
the constant growth valuation formula is not appropriate to use for zero growth stocks

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of a stock can be calculated with the constant growth valuation formula, but it's mandatory that the stock has to have a constant growth, because it depends on this rate. Actually, the present value of a stock is calculated with this formula when it can be assumed that its growth is constant.

On the other hand, if the stock value is zero, if it has no growth at all, then, this formula can't be applied, because this variable will be missing.

If you see the image attached, you're gonna look for 'g', which represents the growth rate.

step-by-step explanation:

the x's and the y's both go up the same amount each time, therefore it will be a linear function because it will go in a straight line when drawn on a graph.

hope this !
