    Cost of Equity = 11.30%

    Explanation:

    Computation Cost for Equity

    Using Gordon Model

    Market Price = [Dividend * (1 + Growth Rate) ] / (Cost of Equity - Growth Rate)

    41.08 = [$3.01 * (1 + 0.037) ] / (Cost of Equity - 0.037)

    41.08 = [$3.01 * (1.037) ] / (Cost of Equity - 0.037)

    Cost of Equity - 0.037 = $3.12 / 41.08

    Cost of Equity - 0.037 = $0.076

    Cost of Equity = 0.076 + 0.037

    Cost of Equity = 0.1130

    Cost of Equity = 11.30%
