Respuesta :

Answer:

c. Increase in the growth rate

Explanation:

we can use an example to illustrate how this works:

Div₁ = $2

r = 10%

g = 2%

P₀ = $2 / (10% - 2%) = $25

if g increases from 2% to 4%, even if nothing else changes,

P₀ = $2 / (10% - 4%) = $33.33

An increase in g decreases the denominator and that will always result in a larger number.
