Ans- The Gordon growth model can be used to value a firm that is in a 'steady state' with dividends growing at a rate that can be sustained forever. The Model The Gordon growth model relates the value of a stock to its expected dividends in the next time period, the cost of equity, and the expected growth rate in dividends.
Value of Stock = DPS1/Ke-g
where, DPS1 = Expected Dividends one year from now (next period)
ke= Required rate of return for equity investors
g = Growth rate in dividends forever
=$5+25%/0.14-.06
