Expert Solution

cost of equity Dividend pricing model = [ D0(1+g)/price] + g

                                                 = [2(1+.08)/30 ] +.08

                                                 = [2 * 1.08/30 ] + .08

                                                 = .072+.08

                                               = .152 or 15.2%
