12.11%

Explanation:

GIVEN THE FOLLOWING ;

Earning per Share = $3.20

Expected dividend pay out ratio.(proportion of earning paid out as interest.)

Cost of stock per share = $30

Dividend growth rate = 5%= 0.05

Floatation cost = 10% = 0.1

Cost of equity=(dividend/(Current price(1-Floatation cost)) +Growth rate

Cost of Equity =[ (1. 92÷(30(1 - 0.1)) + 0.05

Cost of equity = [ (1.92 ÷ (30(0.9)) + 0.05

Cost of equity = (1.92 ÷ 27) + 0.05

Cost of equity = 0.07111111 + 0.05 = 0.121111

0.12111 × 100 = 12.11%

cool i use it all the time
