Answer:

the estimated cost of common equity using the CAPM is 11.40 %.

Explanation:

Cost of Equity = Return on the Risk Free Security + Beta × Return on Market Portfolio

                       = 7.00 % +  0.8 × 5.5%

                       = 11.40 %

The estimated cost of common equity using the CAPM is 11.40 %.

Calculation of the cost of common equity;

Since the return on risk-free rate is 7%, beta is 0.8 and, the market risk premium is 5.5%

So here the cost of common equity should be

= Return on the Risk Free + Beta × Market risk premium

= 7.00 % +  0.8 × 5.5%

= 11.40 %

Hence, The estimated cost of common equity using the CAPM is 11.40 %.
