Answer:

price of preferred stock = $465.65

Explanation:

given data

annual dividend = $18

return = 3.2 percent = 0.032

solution

we know prefer stock price is express as

prefer stock price Vp = [tex]\frac{d}{Kp}[/tex]

here Vp is value of preference share and d is constant dividend and Kp is rate

so

prefer stock in 6th year will be = [tex]\frac{18}{0.032}[/tex] = $562.50

so that price of preferred stock today = [tex]\frac{P6}{(1+Kp)^{n-1}}[/tex]

price of preferred stock = [tex]\frac{562.50}{(1+0.032)^{7-1}}[/tex]

price of preferred stock = $465.65
