    7.82%

    Explanation:

    In CAPM (capital asset pricing model), cost of equity = Risk free rate of return + Beta * (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

    T-bill is treasury bill backed up by governement, then cosidered is risk free rate.

    Using the CAPM, the company's cost of equity = T-bills yielding 4.4% + beta 1.14 x (market risk premium 7.4% - T-bills yielding 4.4%)

    = 4.4% + 1.14 * (7.4%-4.4%) = 7.82%
