Answer:

Expected return or the cost of equity capital for the firm = 14%

Explanation:

V(0) = D1 / r - g

v = 20, D1 = 2, r = ?, g = 0.04

20 = 2 / (r - 0.04)

20r - 0.8 = 2

20r = 2 + 0.8

20r = 2.8

r = 2.8/20

r = 0.14

r = 14%

Note: Application of constant growth dividend discount model was required to solve the question
