    Option (A) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Flotation cost, FC = 20 percent

    Dividend growth rate, g = 6%

    Share price, P = $20

    Dividend in the next year, D1:

    = 1 * 0.06

    = 0.06

    Cost of new equity:

    = D1 : [P * (1 - FC) ] + g

    = 1.06 : [20 * (1 - 0.20) ] + 0.06

    = 1.06 : (20 * 0.8) + 0.06

    = 1.06 : (16) + 0.06

    = 0.06625 + 0.06

    = 0.12625 or 12.63%
