Answer:
30.92%
Explanation:
You find the answer by calculating the cost of equity using two methods; Dividend discount model and CAPM
<u>Dividend discount model;</u>
cost of equity; r = (D1/P0) +g
whereby, D1 = next year's dividend = 3.00
P0= current price = 13.65
g = dividend growth rate = 11% or 0.11 as a decimal
r = (3/13.65) + 0.11
r = 0.2198 + 0.11
r= 0.3298 or 32.98%
<u>Using CAPM;</u>
r = risk free + beta (Market risk premium)
r = 0.049 + (2.8 * 0.0856)
r = 0.049 + 0.2397
r = 0.2887 or 28.87%
Next, find the average of the two cost of equities;
=(32.98% + 28.87% )/2
= 30.92%
