The Down and Out Co. just issued a dividend of $1.14 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 0.04 growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $23.78 a share, what is the company's cost of equity?
Enter the answer with 4 decimals (e.g. 0.1234)
Computation of the company's cost of equity:-
Cost of equity = (D1 / Current stock price) + Growth rate
= ($1.14 * (1 + 0.04) / $23.78) + 0.04
= ($1.19 / $23.78) + 0.04
= 0.0499 + 0.04
= 0.0899
