Expert Solution

Computation of Cost of Common Stock using DCF Approach:

Cost of Common Stock = Dividend for the Next Year/Current Stock Price + Growth Rate

= $2*(1+5.5%)/$50 + 5.5% 

= $2.11/$50 + 5.5%

= 0.0422 + 5.5%

Cost of Common Stock = 9.72%

So, the answer is 9.72% which is not given in the options. May be there is some mistake in options.

 

Computation of Stock Capital Gain Yield:

Capital Gain Yield = (P1-P0)/P0

= (? - $50)/$50

Here, P1 is missing As you have not provided the data for Question 48. So, we can't calculate Stock Capital Gain Yield.
