Orlando Co$.$ has its U$.$S$.$ business funded in dollars with a capital structure of $70$ percent debt and $30$ percent equity. It has its Thailand business funded in

Thai baht with a capital structure of $60$ percent debt and $40$ percent equity. The corporate tax rate on U$.$S$.$ earnings and on Thailand earnings is $30$ percent.

The annualized $10-$year risk$-$free interest rate is $4$ percent in the United States and $20$ percent in Thailand. The annual real rate of interest is about $1$ percent

in the United States and $1$ percent in Thailand. Interest rate parity exists. Orlando pays $4$ percentage points above the risk$-$free rates when it borrows, so its

before$-$tax cost of debt is $8$ percent in the United States and $24$ percent in Thailand. Orlando expects that the U$.$S$.$ stock market return will be $9$ percent per

year, and expects that the Thailand stock market return will be $26$ percent per year. Its business in the United States has a beta of $0\mathrm{.}8$ relative to the U$.$S$.$

market, while its business in Thailand has a beta of $1\mathrm{.}3$ relative to the Thai market. The equity used to support Orlando's Thai business was created from

retained earnings by the Thailand subsidiary in previous years. However, Orlando Co$.$ is considering a stock offering in Thailand that is denominated in Thai

baht and targeted at Thai investors. Estimate Orlando's cost of equity in Thailand that would result from issuing stock in Thailand. Do not round intermediate

calculations. Round your answer to one decimal place.
