Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Data provided

Risk free return = 3%

Beta = 2

Expected return on the market portfolio = 14%

Risk-free rate of return = 3%

The computation of cost of retained earnings is shown below:-

Cost of retained earnings = Risk free return + Beta × Risk premium

=  3% + 2 × (14% - 3%)

=  3% + 2 × 11%

=  3% + 0.22

= 25%

Therefore, for computing the cost of retained earning we simply applied the above formula.

alexira [117]

Wacc = (D / V)rd (1 - t) + (E / V) re

(D/V) = 0.3

Rd = before tax cost of debt = 5.5%

T = tax rate = 30%

(E / V) = 0.7

Re = marginal cost of equity = 12.8%

= (0.3 x 5.5% × 0.7) + (0.7 x 12.8%) = 1.155% + 8.96% = 10.12%
