Answer:

10.03%

Explanation:

Using the dividend discount formula, find the cost of equity; r

r = \frac{D1}{P0} +g

whereby,

D1 = Next year's dividend = 5.29

P0 = Current price of the stock = 79.83

g = growth rate of dividends = 3.40% or 0.034 as a decimal

Next, plug in the numbers to the formula above;

r = \frac{5.29}{79.83} +0.034\\ \\ r =0.06627 + 0.034\\ \\ =0.10027

As a percentage, r = 10.03%

Therefore, the company's cost of equity is 10.03%

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

$120 per unit

Explanation:

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost per unit + (Selling price to outside customers - Variable cost per unit)

= $72 + ($120 - $72)

= $72 + $48

= $120 per unit

Therefore for computing the minimum transfer price we simply applied the above formula.
