ROE

Im taking a corporate finance class at NYU and I cant for the life of me solve this problem. Keep in mind I am an accounting guru and have little valutaion experience. Need some help! I am at my wits end with this question. I think I am right but it doesnt make sense to me. Some help would be truly appreciated!

The Hedda Company has current earnings of $2.00 per share. The company plans to reinvest 30% of its annual earnings. Hedda’s cost of capital is 10% and stock price is currently $20. a. What is Hedda’s return on retained earnings? b. What is the value of Hedda’s growth opportunities?
