    Explanation:

    Data provided

    Beta = 1.45

    Risk-free rate = 2.25

    market risk premium = 7.75%

    The computation of company's cost of equity capital is shown below:-

    Risk free rate + Beta * (Expected return on market - Risk free rate)

    = 0.0225 + 1.45 * (0.0775 - 0.0225)

    = 0.0225 + 1.45 * 0.055

    = 0.0225 + 0.07975

    = 0.10225

    or 10.22%
