Answer #1

Preferred dividend remains constant in perpetuity.

Preferred dividend this year and next year = $12

Current price = $40

Required return of preferred stock = Preferred dividend/Market price of stock

=12/40

=0.3 or 30%

So you would require 30% return for investing in this company

(please thumbs up)
