    Dividend Yield = 3%

    Equity cost of capital = 10%

    Explanation:

    Dividend yield is a financial ratio which is used by investors to assess a company's annual dividend payout in comparison of its stock price. The formula for dividend yield ratio is:

    Annual dividend / Stock price

    $0.75 / $25 = 3%

    Equity cost of capital is the rate of return required by the investors of equity. This is the rate which a company must pay to raise funds. The formula for finding equity cost of capital is:

    Dividend Yield + (Expected Stock price - Stock price today) / Stock price today

    3% + ($26.75 - $25) / $25 = 10%

    Cost of equity = 9.6%

    Dividend Yield = 3.0%

    Explanation:

    Growth rate in dividend

    growth rate in dividend = (Price in year 1/Price now) - 1

    = (26.75/25) - 1

    =6.6%

    Cost of equity

    (Ke) = (D (1+g) / P) + g

    ke - cost of equity, Div in year 0, P = ex-div market price, g = growth rate in div.

    0.75/25 + 0.066

    =9.6%

    Dividend Yield

    DY = Dividend/current price share

    = (0.75/25) * 100

    = 3.0%
