问题如下：
Mendosa and Raman have a discussion about other approaches that might be appropriate for valuing PRBI’s stock. They make the following statements:
• Statement 1—Raman: Because PRBI’s management is actively seeking opportunities to be acquired, the guideline public company method (GPCM) would be most appropriate. It establishes a value estimate based on pricing multiples derived from the acquisition of control of entire public or private companies. Specifically, it uses a multiple that relates to the sale of entire companies.
• Statement 2—Mendosa: We could also value PRBI using the free cash flow to equity (FCFE) model. But in order to support its rapid growth, the company is expected to significantly increase its net borrowing every year for the next three to five years, and during those years, it could have a significant dampening effect on the company’s FCFE and thus a lower value for its equity.
• Statement 3—Raman: I agree. The residual income (RI) model, also called the “excess earnings method,” does not have the same weakness as the FCFE approach because residual income is an estimate of the profit of the company after deducting the cost of all capital: debt and equity. Furthermore, it makes no assumptions about future earnings and the justified P/B is directly related to expected future residual income.

Statement 3 by Raman is most accurate. The residual income model, also called the excess earnings method, does not have the same weakness as the FCFE approach, because it is an estimate of the profit of the company after deducting the cost of all capital: debt and equity. Further, it makes no assumptions about future earnings and dividend growth.
Furthermore, it makes no assumptions about future earnings and the justified P/B is directly related to expected future residual income.
RI Model对future earnings没有做假设，出题人在这里说的assumption具体是指什么？
RI Model如果用一阶段、二阶段模型的话，肯定会对未来的RI（Earning）进行假设的，比如clean surplus relation，没太理解出题人的意思
