| cgeek | k-g < 0 ? |
| katybo | above required rate |
| haarlemmer | Just checked the definition, market cap rate= RRR |
| Indira | in DDM g should always be lower than the required rate of return or market cap rate |
| Khadria | A. Historical Average = g (so it can't be correct) |
| cong | market capitalization is the same as the required return on equity. k-g needs to be positive. |
