Question

Several years ago, Macro Riders issued preferred stock with a stated annual dividend of 5% of its $600 par value. Preferred stock of this type currently yields 10%. Assume dividends are paid annually. a. What is the estimated value of Macros preferred stock

Answer 1

Answer: $300

Step-by-step explanation:

The Value of a Preferred Stock is derived like a perpetuity in that it is calculated by dividing the annual cash return received by the annual yield/interest.

The stated annual dividend is 5% of $600;

= 5% * 600

= $30

Value of the Preferred Stock =
`(Annual Cash Return)/(Annual Yield)`

=
`(30)/(0.10)`

= $300
