    Based on the below, I get 23.4% as the discount rate.
    We utilize the CAPM formula and add an alpha to modify for company-specific risks.
    Ignore the industry risk as it is represented as part of Beta already.

    R(i) = R(f) + ß(R(m) - R(f)) + R(s) + R(c)
    where R(i) = Company Rate and R(s) = Size premium and R(c) = company specific

    R(i) = 5 + 1.3(13-5) + 5 + 3
    = 23.4%
