Investors expect to recelve a dividend yield, P0D1, plus a capital gain, 9 , for a total expected return, In. , this expected retum is also equal to the required return. It's easy to calculate the dividend yleid; but because stock prices fluctuate, the yield varies from day to day, which leads to fuctuations in the DCF cost of equity. Also, it is difficult to determine the proper growth especially if past growth rates are not expected to continue in the future. Howevec, we can use growth rates as projected by security analysts, who regularly forecast growth rates of earnings and dividends. Which method should be used to estimate ra it management has confidence in ane method, it would probably use that method's estimate, otherwise, it might use some weighted average of the three methods. Judgment is important and comes into play here, as is true for most decisions in finance. Quantitative Problemt Barton Industries estimates its cost of common equity by using three approaches: the CAPM, the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approsch, and the DCF model. Barton expects next year's annial dividend, Di, to be $2.00 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g=4.8%. The firm's current common stock price, Po. is \$25,00. The current risk-free rate, far, =4.0%; the market risk premium, RP,5.7%, and the firm's stock has a current beta, b, =1.35; Assume that the firm's cost of debt, Po, is 11.21\%. The firm uses a 2.7% risk premium when arriving at a balipark estimate of its cost of equity using the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach. What is the firm's cost of equity using each of these three approaches? Round your answers to two decimal places. CAPM cost of equity: Bond yield plus risk premium: DCF cost of equity: What is your best estimate of the firm's cost of equity
