1) Cost of equity according to dividend capitalisation method is Re=D1/P0 +g
there is opposite relationship between Current market price of share and cost of equity . If the management believes that the share price is overvalued it means the current market price of shares is high hence due to inverse relationship the cost of equity would be low .
