Answer:

8%

Explanation:

If the current quarterly dividend on preferred stock = $1.60, that means that the current yearly dividend = $1.60 x 4 quarters = $6.40

Since the yearly dividend = $6.40 and the current market price of preferred stock is $80, its expected rate of return = $6.40 / $80 = 8%
