chamad I don't see the difference between A & C! can someone explain...thanks
VenkatB The sum of all (Present Value of) future dividends

C is missing the "present value" aspect
Oarona well explained VenkatB
johntan1979 Just recall the formula:

Is V = sum of all future dividends, i.e. D1, D2, D3...?

Nope, it's D/r-g
