Gordon talks about the extreme about the extreme situation. According to Gordon, there are two types of investor exist in the market. One who wants some current income and other is who want capital income. While according to another model of Dividend that’s Walter model, ignore this. Every investor wants some interest in their hand from the investment amount. Gordon says that company has to pay some interest to their investor. This helps in attracting new investor in the company and existing investor satisfy more from the company.

In normal condition, company has any ratio of Retained earning and Dividend pay out ratio because it does not effect performance of the company. Retained earning should be low in depression because future is uncertain.

P = E ( 1- b)
K- br

b = Retention Ratio
K = Cost of capital
br = Growth rate of the firm
if retention ratio high discount rate is also high because investor discount the future value earnings while estimate the market price.
