Acompany hired you as a consultant to them estimate its cost of capital. you have been provided with the following data: d1 = $2; p0 = $40; and g = 3% (constant). based on the constant dividend growth model approach, what is the cost of equity?

8%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the cost of common equity under the DCF method is shown below:

= Current year dividend ÷ price + Growth rate

where,

Current year dividend is $2

Price is $40

And, the growth rate is 3%

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the cost of equity would equal to

= $2 ÷ $40 + 3%

= 0.05+ 0.03

= 8%

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
