    a) Cost of equity = 14.78%

    Explanation:

    Cost of equity can be ascertained using the dividend valuation model. The model states that the price of a stock is the present

    Cost of equity (Ke) = (Do (1+g) / P) + g

    Ke - cost of equity, g - growth rate, p - price of the stock

    Cost of equity

    = 2.35/25.67 + 0.0572

    = 0.148746552 * 100

    = 14.87%

    Cost of equity = 14.87%
