Solutions

Expert Solution

The correct option is D i.e. 28.3%

 

D0 = 200

Growth Rate, g = 10%

D1 = D0*(1+g)
D1 = 200*(1+0.10)
D1 = 220

 

Cost of Equity= D1/P0 + g
Cost of Equity = 220 / 1,200 + 0.10
Cost of Equity = 0.1833 + 0.10

 

Cost of Equity = 0.2833 or 28.3%

The correct option is D i.e. 28.3%
