Information asymmetry is measured using the bid-ask spread and diversification is measured using the Herfindahl Index proxy while the cost of equity capital is measured using the Ohlson model. Hypothesis testing is carried out using multiple linear regression analysis to see how much influence information asymmetry and diversification have on the cost of equity capital. The result indicated that information asymmetry had a positive impact on the cost of equity capital and business diversification had a positive impact on the cost of equity capital.
