    The answer is A.

    Explanation:

    One of the methods to determine cost of equity is the dividend growth model and the formula is:

    (D1/Po) + g

    D1 is the future or next year dividend

    Po is the present share value

    g is the growth rate

    Since the dividend are expected to grow by 3 percent, then the future dividend will be

    1.03 x $0.75

    =$0.7725

    Po = $12.00

    g is 3 percent

    ($0.7725/$12) + 3%

    0.06438 + 3%

    6.44% + 3%

    9.44%
