Answer:
.b. It is appropriate to use the constant growth model to estimate a stock's value even if its growth rate is never expected to become constant
TRUE The multi-stage valuation considers different grow rates for the subsequent years
Explanation:
a. Two firms with the same expected free cash flows and growth rates must also have the same value of operations
FALSE as their cost of capital can differ.
c. If a company has a weighted average cost of capital WACC = 12%, and if its free cash flows are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%, this implies that the stock's dividend yield is also 5%.
FALSE dividend yield is a relationship between price and dividend it doesn't considers the growth of the company, just current values.
d. The value of operations is the present value of all expected future free cash flows, discounted at the free cash flow growth rate
FALSE They are discounted at the difference between return and grow rate
e. The constant growth model takes into consideration the capital gains investors expect to earn on a stock.
FALSE It considers the capital gains as speculations

Answer: Input Prices have increased.
Explanation:
When an Economy sees prices rising but at the same time productivity is falling, the likely cause of that is an increase in Input prices.
Input Prices are the prices of the raw materials and other goods needed to produce finished goods. If these prices should rise, it becomes more expensive for producers to produce and they will therefore reduce the amount of goods they produce. This reduction in Quantity leads to an increase win prices because according to the Law of Supply and Demand, if supply reduces and demand remains the same then prices must increase till a new equilibrium is reached.
For example, imagine a hypothetical Economy of Steel Makers. If the price of Iron changed from $5 to $10, producers who were producing 20 units of Steel will see their costs double and react by producing only 10 units of Steel to maintain cost margins thereby dropping Productivity.
The 20 units of Steel used to be sold in the market at $20 but now that the supply has dropped to 10 units, the price doubles to $40 to cater for this reduction in Quantity.
