Amari Case · Answer 1

a. is only as reliable as the estimated rate of growth

Explanation:

Dividend growth model is used to estimate the price of a stock. This price is calculated by summing up the present values of expected future dividends by discounting them at the investors' required return and taking into consideration a constant or non-constant growth rate. One of the disadvantages of using this model is that it is difficult to get an accurate estimate of this growth rate.
