A

The infinite dividend discount model assumes can be used to value a common stock when dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate. The equation which characterizes the infinite period dividend discount model is as follows:

Value of common stock = D1 / (k - g)

Where: D1 = the dividend at t1, k = the required rate of return, and g = the assumed growth rate of dividends.

The equation illustrated in choice D is simply an algebraic rearrangement of this equation, solving for D1.
