    Cost of common stock is 12.02%

    Explanation:

    The cost of common stock can be computed from share price formula given below:

    share price=do * (1+g) / r-g

    do is the dividend just paid which is $1.70

    g is the expected dividend growth per year which is 3.10%

    r is the cost of common stock which is unknown

    share price is $19.65

    by changing the subject of the formula:

    r=do * (1+g) / share price+g

    r=1.70 * (1+3.10%) / 19.65+3.10%

    r=1.7527/19.65+3.10%

    r=0.0892+3.10%=12.02%

    The company's cost of capital which is also the cost of common stock is 12.02%
