Answer: 14%
Explanation:
We can calculate this using the Gordon Growth Model which looks like this,
P = D1 / r - g
P is the current stock price
D1 is the next dividend
r is the rate of return or the cost of capital
g is the growth rate.
We have all those figures except the cost of capital so making r the subject of the formula we can solve for it. Doing that will make the formula,
r = D/ P + g
r = 1.55 / 22.10 + 0.07
r = 0.1401
r = 14%
14% is the equity cost of capital.

Answer: $40
Explanation:
Selling price can be calculated through the contribution margin equation;
Contribution margin = (Selling Price - Variable cost) / Selling Price
Contribution margin = Fixed costs/break-even point
= 660,000/1,100,000
= 60%
60% = (Selling Price - 16) / Selling Price
Selling price * 60% = Selling price - 16
16 = Selling price - (0.6 * selling price)
16 = Selling price * 40%
16/40% = Selling price
Selling price = $40
