Firm Foundation theorists use the fundamental approach to determine the intrinsic value discussed earlier. They look at several main determinants in their analysis of stock prices and future dividends.

Determinant 1: The Expected Growth Rate

In order to unuderstand Growth Rate one must understand how Compound Interest works:

If Jean-Paul invests a Principal, P, of $1.00 at a growth rate, r, of 5%

Present Dividend = $1.00 Dividend in n years = P(1 + r)^n

Thus we can draw following Table:

Growth Rate    Present Dividend   Dividend in 5 yrs  Dividend in 10 yrs    Dividend in 25 yrs
        5 %	           $1.00	       $1.28	           $1.68	         $3.39
        10%	           $1.00	       $2.01	           $4.05	        $32.92
        25%	           $1.00	       $3.05	           $9.31	       $264.70
