Question

Voltanis Corp. has preferred stock outstanding that will pay an annual dividend of $4.29 every year in perpetuity. If the stock currently sells for $101.03 per share, what is the required return?a. 3.82%b. 3.97%c. 4.25%d. 2.36%e. 4.85%

Answer 1

Answer:

The appropriate choice is Option c (4.25%).

Explanation:

Given:

Annual dividend,

= $4.29

Price per share,

= $101.03

Now,

The required return will be:

= $\frac{Annual \ dividend}{Price \ per \ share}$

= $\frac{4.29}{101.03}$

= $0.04246$

or,

= $4.25$ (%)
