Expert Solution

Dividend Yield = Current Year Dividend/Current Market Price = 0.75/25 = 3%

Growth rate = (26.75 - 25)/25 = 7%

Current Market Price by end of year = Future Dividend / ( equity cost of capital - growth)

=> 26.75 = 0.75*1.07/(cost of capital - 0.07)

=> Cost of capital = 10%

So the answer is option c
