Answer:

Cost of equity = 11.7%

Explanation:

The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.

Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)  

Rf-risk-free rate,-4%,  β= Beta-1.10, (Rm-Rf) = 7% ,Ke = cost of equity

Using this model,  

Ke=4% + 1.10×7%

= 11.7 %

Cost of equity = 11.7%
