Ah, the classic dividend valuation model. I bet the answer is hidden in the numbers like a needle in a haystack.

C) 10.7% seems more plausible. The dividend yield and reinvestment rate don't seem to support the higher answers.

D) 13.2% looks right to me. The high return on reinvested funds suggests a higher cost of equity.

I feel like the answer might be around 10.7% based on my calculations, but I’m not completely confident in my growth rate estimation.

If EF reinvests 40% of its profits, does that mean the growth rate is 0.4 * 0.12? I hope I got that right!

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to find the cost of equity using dividends. I think the growth rate is based on the reinvestment percentage and return on reinvested funds.
