    Explanation:

    The formula and the computation of the estimated cost of equity capital is shown below:

    Stock price = Next year dividend : (cost of equity - expected dividend growth rate)

    We assume the cost of equity be X

    $34 = $3.10 : (cost of equity - 1.8%)

    $34 X - $34 * 1.8X = $3.10

    After solving this,

    The cost of equity would be 10.92%
