Cost of equity is the cost incurred by the company to meet the rate of return expected by investors, either in the form of dividends or capital gains Since investors wanted a rate of return on the investment, then the company should compensate the shareholders with the economic return implicit in forecasting in the future, which may be different from the previous performance. The company's incapability in controlling the cost of equity can increase the occurrence of financial distress, which in turn can decrease the firm value. The purpose of this research is to find out whether the cost of equity can influence the occurrence of financial distress, which suffers a substantial reduction in firm value.

The result shows that the cost of equity has a significant effect on financial distress and Firm Value, but the financial distress doesn't affect firm Value.
