D1(rs – g)D1(rs – g)
Which of the following statements is true?
Increasing dividends will always increase the stock price.
Increasing dividends will always decrease the stock price, because the firm is depleting internal funding resources.

Walter Utilities is a dividend-paying company and is expected to pay an annual dividend of $2.05 at the end of the year. Its dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.50% per year. If Walter’s stock currently trades for $28.00 per share, what is the expected rate of return?
704.91%
656.87%
13.82%
992.14%…
I don't understand the difference b/w Non Constant Growth (question 15) where the solution doesn't require the dividend to be multiplied by (1.05) and Non Constant Dividend (question 17) where the dividend is being multiplied by the 1+g)....It seems like they are similiar questions.
