Respuesta :

The investor can expect to receive a return of 11.01% on this stock if the stock is purchased today

Preferred stock is a class of ownership that has priority claims to retained earnings, relative to common equity owners. Suppose the preferred stock pays a constant dividend D, and the required rate of return that is r, then the price of the preferred stock is D/r.

Dividend payment = par value * dividend rate

= 100*15.25% = $15.25.

The price of the stock = 15.25 / rate of return = 138.5, which implies that the rate of return = 11.01%.

Hence, the rate of return of the stock is 11.01%
