Problem 9-10 Cost of Equity The earnings, dividends, and stock price of Shelby Inc. are expected to grow at 5% per year in the future. Shelby's common stock sells for $20.25 per share, its last dividend was $1.60, and the company will pay a dividend of $1.68 at the end of the current year. a.

If the firm's beta is 1.0, the risk-free rate is 7%, and the expected return on the market is 13%, then what would be the firm's cost of equity based on the CAPM approach? Round your answer to two decimal places. % c. If the firm's bonds earn a return of 12%, then what would be your estimate of rs using the over-own-bond-yield-plus-judgmental-risk-premium approach?
