Question

Molen Inc. has an outstanding issue of perpetual preferred stock with an annual dividend yield of 7.50% and a par value of $60. If the market value for the preferred stock is $70, what is the required return on this preferred stock?

Answer 1

Answer:

10.71%

Explanation:

The computation of the required rate of return on this preferred stock is shown below :

The Required return on preferred stock is

= Dividend ÷ market value of preferred stock

= 7.50 ÷ $70

= 10.71%

By dividing the dividend from the market value of preferred stock  we can get the  Required return on preferred stock and the same is to be considered

therefore we ignored the par value i.e $60 as this is not relevant
