11.33%

Explanation:

The dividend valuation model will be used here to calculate the cost of equity raised which can be calculated using the following formula:

r = D1 / (Po - F) + g

Here D1, Po, F and g are given in the question so by putting the values in the equation, we have

r = $1.75 / ($42.5 - 5% of Po) + 7%

r = 11.33%
