      C Both A and B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Incomplete information Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The dividend growth model allows the cost of equity to be calculated using empirical values of dividends and market value of the share using the formula: re┬а= D0(1 + g)┬а/┬аP0┬а+ g where g is the growth rate of earnings. The risk premium is calculated as market rate of return less the risk-free rate. Risk premium is used in the CAPM model to calculate the cost of equity.
