Answer #1

Formula,

Cost of Equity = (Dividend Per Shares (For Next Year) / Current Market Value of Stock ) + Growth rate of Dividends

Dividend Per Shares of Next Year = Dividend Last Year X ( 1 + Dividend Growth Rate)

Dividend Per Shares of Next Year = $ 2.18 X ( 1 + 0.022)

Dividend Per Shares of Next Year = $ 2.18 X 1.022

Dividend Per Shares of Next Year =   $ 2.23

Market Price of The Shares = $ 36.72%

Dividend Growth Rate = 2.2%

Cost of Equity = ( $ 2.23 / $ 36.72 ) + 2.2%

Cost of Equity =   6.07% + 2.20%

Cost of Equity =   8.27%

Answer = 8.27%
