Answer:

The cost of equity using the DCF method: 4.39%.

The cost of equity using the SML method: 15.01%.

Explanation:

a. The cost of equity using the DCF method:

We have: Current stock price = Next year dividend payment / ( Cost of equity - Growth rate) <=> Cost of equity = Next year dividend payment/Current stock price + Growth rate = 0.3 x 1.04/80 + 4% = 4.39%.
