    Cost of equity = 8.0%

    Explanation:

    Cost of equity can be ascertained using the dividend valuation model. The model states that the price of a stock is the present value of future dividends discounted at the required rate of return.

    Cost of equity (Ke) = (Do (1+g) / P) + g

    g - 2.2%, P - 36.72, D - 2.18

    Ke = (2.18 * (1+0.022)) / 38.72 + 0.022) * 100

    = 0.07954 * 100

    = 8.0%

    Cost of equity = 8.0%
