III. Chapter Overview
This chapter shows how to use the Law of One Price to compute the value of a stock. The chapter
begins by discussing the dividend-discount model. Next, they use tools learned in Chapter 8 to value
9.1 The Dividend-Discount Model
The authors begin by showing that a one-period investor will be willing to pay the same price as a
9.2 Applying the Dividend-Discount Model
The section begins with the assumption that dividends will grow at a constant rate. The constant
(2) increase payout ratio, and (3) decrease shares outstanding. Suppose the number of shares
outstanding is fixed. The authors show that in this case, the earnings growth rate = retention rate ×
return on new investment. See equations 9.8 through 9.12 for the development of this relationship.
