Slow 'n steady, inc., has a stock price of $ 34, will pay a dividend next year of $ 3.10, and has expected dividend growth of 1.8 % per year. what is your estimate of slow 'n steady's cost of equity capital?

10.92%

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%

the answer would be voluntary exchange -

"the act of buyers and sellers freely and willingly engaging in market transactions. moreover, transactions are made in such a way that both the buyer and the seller are better off after the exchange than before it occurred."

hope this : )
