The dividend growth model approach limited application in practice because of its two assumptions. It assumes that the dividend per share will grow at a constant rate‚ g‚ forever The expected dividend growth rate‚ g‚ should be less than the cost of equity‚ Ke‚ to arrive at the simple growth formula.

Causes and mechanisms of water resources degradation Logging of forest Logging is the cutting‚ skidding‚ on-site processing‚ and loading of trees or logs onto trucks. Logging and the subsequent denudation of the forest cover increases surface runoff since there is less oppurtunity for rainwater to sink into the ground. .Retarded or supressed infiltration accelerates overland flow production‚hastening delivery of rainwater into streams and rivers‚ the oftentimes the water ends up as floodwater
