Justified Price/Book

Hi, typically justified price. book is (ROE - r)/(r - g). However, in one or two instances I have seen the formula as 1 + (ROE - r)/(r - g). Why is the one added?

Your first formula is incorrect (even after I added the parentheses). It should be:

(ROE − g ) / (r − g)

The second formula is the same as this: it’s just algebra.

Ok thanks!

My pleasure.
