    14.05%

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Beta = 1.3

    Risk-free rate (Rf) = 9.5%

    Return on the Market (RM) = 13%

    According to CAPM approach:

    Cost of common equity (RE):

    = [Rf + β (RM - Rf) ]

    = [9.5% + 1.3 (13% - 9.5%) ]

    = [9.5% + 1.3 (3.5%) ]

    = [0.095 + 1.3 (0.035) ]

    = [0.095 + 0.0455]

    = 0.1405

    = 14.05%

    Therefore, the firm's cost of common equity is 14.05%.
