Answer 1

Beagle Beauties

Equity beta = 1.40

Risk free rate = 2.20%

Market risk premium = 6.4%

1. Current share price as per constant dividend model

Growth rate = 13.58 %

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Equity beta * Market risk premium

                                = 2.20 % + 1.40 + 6.4%

                                = 2.20 % + 8.96%

Cost of equity    = 11.16%

                                = =

                        = 197.2697
