Is it true that the value of an asset producing constant perpetual income is the income divided by the interest rate?

The formula that the value of an asset producing constant perpetual income equals the income divided by the interest rate (the capitalization formula for a perpetuity) is a standard mathematical definition in finance and economics requiring no citation.
