Answer 1

Answer:

$74.61 per share , decrease.

Explanation:

First calculate value of preferred share if return is  13.94% ;

Value of preferred share =(Annual dividend rate  * Par value)/ Rate of return

Value = (0.1040* 100)/0.1394

Value = 10.40/ 0.1394

Value = $74.61

Next, calculate value of preferred share if return is  18.12% ;

Value of preferred share =(Annual dividend rate  * Par value)/ Rate of return

Value = (0.1040* 100)/0.1812

Value = 10.40/ 0.1812

Value = $57.40

Since the value has gone from $74.61 to $57.40, it means that the value will DECREASE.
