    d. 26.62%

    Explanation:

    The formula to compute the cost of the retained earning is shown below:

    Current Price = Current dividend * (1 + growth rate) : Retained earning - growth rate

    $29 = $5 * (1 + 0.08) : (Retained earning - 0.08)

    $ 29 = $5 * 1.08 : (Retained earning - 0.08)

    By solving this equation, the cost of retained earning would be 26.62%

    All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
