<h3>What is Cost of Preferred Stock?</h3>
To raise funds, a company issues preferred stock & pays annual payments dividends to preferred shareholders for an indefinite period of time.
The price of preferred stock is referred to as the annual dividend like a percentage of the stock's current price.
Now according to the question;
The given face value of the stock is $100.
The total yield at the time of the issue is 9% = 0.09.
Thus, the annual dividend is calculated as;
9% of $100 = $9.
The current/preferred price of the stock is given as $67.
Thus, the current yield will be obtained as;
Current yield = (Annual dividend)/(current price)
Current yield = 9/67 = 0.134
Current yield = 13.4%
