Answer:
Dividend yield is 4.79%
Cost of equity is 11.64%
Explanation:
The dividend yield on Krell Industries share price is the dividend of $1.09 divided by the price of the share today of $22.77
dividend yield=$1.09/$22.77=4.79%
The equity cost of capital can be calculated from the share price formula given below by changing the subject of the formula to cost of equity,r.
stock price=Do*(1+g)/r-g
Do is the dividend paid this year of $1.09
g is the dividend growth of dividend which is computed thus:
g=share price at end of the year-share price now/share price now
g=($24.33-$22.77)/$22.77=6.85%
r is the unknown
stock price is $24.33
24.33=1.09*(1+6.85%)/(r-6.85%)
24.33=1.164665
/r-6.85%
r=(1.164665
/24.33)+6.85%
r=11.64%
