    Answer: Ke = D1/Po + g

    Ke = $3.50/$50 + 0.06

    Ke = 0.07 + 0.06

    Ke = 0.13 = 13%

    Explanation: Cost of equity is a function of dividend in 1 year's time divided by the current market price plus growth rate. D1 represents dividend in 1 year's time, Po denotes the current market price and g is the growth rate.
