    13.37%

    Explanation:

    The computation of the cost of the equity for the new common stock is shown below:

    Cost of equity = Dividend : Price * (1 - Flotation cost) + growth rate

    where,

    Dividend = Earning per share * Dividend Payout ratio

    = $3.50 * 65%

    = $2.275

    And, the other items would remain the same

    So, the cost of equity is

    = $2.275 : $32.50 * (1 - 5%) + 6%

    After solving this, the cost of equity is 13.37%
