    Explanation:

    The cost of equity:

    Using this formula

    rE=rU+D/E * (rU-rD)

    Let plug in the above formula:

    rU=0.092

    D=0.13

    E = (100%-13%)

    =0.87

    rD=0.06

    rE=0.092 + 0.13/0.87 * (0.092-0.06)

    rE=0.092+0.1494*0.032

    rE=0.092+0.004781

    = 0.0968 * 100

    =9.68%
