It is a key component in calculating the cost of capital and is used to determine the expected return on equity investments.

Then, the cost of equity would be: Ke = 6% + 1.2(12% - 6%) = 6% + 1.2(6%) = 6% + 7.2% = 13.2% This means that investors expect to earn a return of at least 13.2% from their investment in the company.
