Answer:

Ans. The cost of equity capital is 6.5 (6.5%)

Explanation:

Hi, all we need to do is fill the following equation with the data from the problem.

r(e)=rf+beta*(MRP)

Where:

rf = Risk free rate (in our case, 2%)

MRP = market risk premium (in our case, 6%)

r(e) = Cost of equity capital

Therefore, this is what we get.

r(e)=0.02+0.75*0.06=0.065

So the cost of equity capital is 6.5% or 6.5 as the problem suggests to answer.

Best of luck.
