8-12 Value of a Preferred Stock A preferred stock from Hecla Mining Co. (HLPRB) pays $3.50 in annual dividends. If the required return on the preferred stock is 6.8 percent, what is the value of the stock

Respuesta :

Answer:

Value of stock is $51.47

Explanation:

As the preferred dividend is paid by the constant amount or by predetermined rate there is no growth in this case. The price of preferred share is calculated by using perpetuity method.

Price of the stock = Dividend / rate of return

Price of the stock = $3.5 / 6.8%

Price of the stock = $3.5 / 0.068

Price of the stock = $51.47
