Question

Ice Co stock has a beta of 1.85, the current risk-free rate is 5.10 percent, and the expected return on the market is 15.10 percent. What is Ice Co's cost of equity

Answer 1

23.60%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the capital asset price model:

cost of equity = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

5.10 + 1.85 x (15.10 - 5.10)

= 5.10 + (1.85 x 10)

=23.60%
