Answer:

c. 7 percent

Explanation:

The real interest rate will be net of the effect of inflation.

In this case we are givne with the principal and the amount.

We will solve for nominal rate first:

amount/ principal - 1 = rate

1,120/1,000 - 1 = 0.12

Now, we calculate the real rate of return. we subtract the inflation from the nominal to achieve the real rate.

nominal - inflation = real rate

0.12 - 0.5 = 0.07

The real interest rate will be of 0.07 = 7%

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Cost of equity = 10.9%

Explanation:

<em>The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.</em><em> </em>

If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:

D0× (1+g)/Po × (1-F) + g

Do - dividend in the following year, K- requited rate of return , g- growth rate , F= Floatation cost in %

DATA:

D0- 3.68

g- 5%

P=67

K- ?

Po×(1-F)= 67-3.68=$63.32

Ke = 3.68× 1.05/ 63.32   + 0.05 =0.109

Cost of equity = 0.109× 100= 10.9%

Cost of equity = 10.9%
