Information provided:

Current stock price= $15

Current dividend= 0.8

Dividend growth rate= 8%

Flotation cost= 10%

The required return on new stock issue is computed as:

Required return on new stock issue = Next year’s dividend/ Share price (1-Flotatin cost)+ growth rate

                                                                      = $0.80(1 + 0.08)/ $15*(1 – 0.10) + 0.08

                                                                      = $0.8640/ $13.50 + 0.08

                                                                      = 0.0640 + 0.08

                                                                      = 0.1440*100

                                                                      = 14.40%
