Respuesta :

Answer:

11.70%

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of preferred stock is shown below :-

The cost of preferred stock = {Annual Dividend} ÷ {Price of preferred stock per share × (1 - Flotation cost)}

= {$9.35} ÷ {$85 × (1 - 0.06)}

=  {$9.35} ÷ {$85 × 0.94}

= {$9.35} ÷ {$79.9}

= 11.70%

We ignored the marginal tax rate i.e. given in the question.
