Answer:
The formula to calculate the Budget Balance is
Government Income - Government Expenditure
in this case
$1.05 billion - $1.06 billion = -<u> 0.01 billion or - $100 million</u>

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%.
b. The cost of equity using the SML method:
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + beta x ( Market return - risk free rate); in which Risk free rate is rate on T-bill.
=> Cost of equity = 6.3% + 1.3 x ( 13% -6.3%) = 15.01%.
