Based on the change in the stock price, the change in the cost of equity to S. Bouchard and Company would be -1.84%.

How would the Cost of Equity change?

The original cost of equity is:

22 = (0.85 x 1.06) / (cost of equity - 6%)

Cost of equity + 6% = 0.901 / 22

Cost of equity = 0.901 / 22  + 6%

= 10.1%

The new cost of equity:

Cost of equity = (0.85 x 1.06) / 40 + 6%

= 8.25%

The change is:

= 8.25 - 10.1

= -1.84%
