The company's cost of equity is 9.45%

Given that

Annual dividend paid, D0 = $2.35

Dividend growth rate, g = 3.15% = 0.0315

Current stock price per share = $38.44

Now,

Current price of share = D1 ÷ (r - g) -(1)

Here,

r is the required rate of return

D1 = dividend at year 1 =  D0 × (1 + g)

= $2.35 × (1 + 0.0315)

= $2.424045

Therefore, from (1) we get

$38.44 = $2.424045 ÷ (r - 0.022)

(r - 0.0315) = 0.063060

r = 0.063060 + 0.0315

r = 0.09456

r = 0.0945 × 100% = 9.45%
