Based on the stock price, dividend and growth rate, the cost of internal equity is 9.22%

One can find out the price of a stock by using the Gordon Growth Model which is:

Price = Net dividend / (Cost of equity - growth rate)

We can therefore find the cost of equity by solving for it:

43.50 = 1.75 / (Cost - 5.2%)

(Cost - 5.2%) x 43.50 = 1.75

(Cost - 5.2%) = 1.75 / 43.50

Cost = (1.75 / 43.50) + 5.2%

= 9.22%

In conclusion, the cost of equity is 9.22%
