    IPA co is about to pay $0.50 dividend on each ordinary share. EPS was $1.50.
    Net assets per share is $6. Current share price is $4.50.
    What is the cost of equity?

    I don’t understand how the growth is worked out.
    G = rb
    r = rate of return co can earn re-investment (EPS/Net asset per share)
    b= proportion of retained earnings

    Could you explain how r and b is worked out.
    Thank you in advance!

    b = (1.50 – 0.50) / 1.50 = 0.66
    r = 1.50 / 6 = 0.25

    g = 0.25 x 0.66 = 0.165
