Assume that kish inc. hired you as a consultant to estimate its cost of common equity. you have obtained the following data: d0 = $0.90; p0 = $27.50; and g = 7.00% (constant). based on the dcf approach, what is the cost of common equity?

D1= next year dividend (D0*

P0=actual price

g= growth rate of dividends

In this exercise:

D1=D0*(1+g)=0,90*1,07=$0,963

P0=$27,50

g=0,07

Cost of equity= 0,963/27,5+0,07=0,1051=10,50%
