Based on the annual dividend on the stock and the market yeild of similar securities, the preferred stock will sell at $227.36.

How much will the stock sell for?

This can be found as:

= Dividend x (1 - ( 1 + rate) ^- number of years) / rate

The dividend is quarterly so the rate is:

= 8% / 4

= 2%

Number of periods is:

= 10 x 4

= 40 quarters

Dividend is:

= 20 / 4

= $5

Selling price is:

= 5 x (1 - (1 + 2%)⁻⁴⁰) / 2%

= $227.36
