Answer:
company B's cost of equity is 14.0375% - 8.975% = 5.0625% higher than company A's cost of equity
Explanation:
cost of equity = risk free rate + (beta x market premium)
risk free rate = 4.25%
market premium = market return - risk free rate = 11% - 4.25% = 6.75%
Company A's cost of equity = 4.25% + (0.7 x 6.75%) = 8.975%
Company B's cost of equity = 4.25% x (1.45 x 6.75%) = 14.0375%
this means that company B's cost of equity is 14.0375% - 8.975% = 5.0625% higher than company A's cost of equity.
