Answer:

a. Calculation of the firm's cost of equity using CAPM

Required rate of return (Cost of equity) = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium

Cost of equity = 2.80% + 1.32*14%

Cost of equity = 2.80% + 18.38%

Cost of equity = 21.28%

b) Calculation of the cost of equity using constant growth model:

Cost of equity = Dividend yield + Growth rate(Capital gain yield)

Cost of equity = 8.00% + 36.00%

Cost of equity = 44.00%
