A firm has a debt-equity ratio of .64, a pretax cost of debt of 8.5 percent, and a required return
on assets of 12.6 percent. What is the cost of equity if you ignore taxes?
A: 8.06%
B: 8.55%
C: 11.12%
D: 15.22%
E: 16.38% - ANS-D: 15.22%
Requrired Return on assets:
12.6% = (((. +.64) x 0.085) + (1 / .64+1) x Cost of equity)
12.6% = 3.317% + .609 x Cost of equity
Cost of equity = (12.6% - 3.317% / .609)
Cost of Equity = 15.22%
