1.
A perpetuity is similar to an annuity except that the fixed periodic cash flow which starts at the future Time 1 period hence then carries on for ever (‘in perpetuity’) rather than stopping after Time n.
The present value of a fixed perpetuity is calculated - assuming a constant periodic cost of capital (r) for all periods from now to infinity - as:
Present Value = A1 x 1/r
2.
For a growing perpetuity the present value formula is modified to take account of the constant periodic growth rate from Time 1 period hence to infinity as:
Present Value = A1 x 1/[r-g]
where g = the periodic rate of growth of the cash flow.
The growing perpetuity concept is applied by the Dividend growth model for share valuation.
