Taylor Systems has just issued preferred stock. The stock has a 9 % annual dividend and a $ 75 par value and was sold at $72.00 per share. In addition, flotation costs of $6.00 per share were paid. Calculate the cost of the preferred stock.
Information provided:
Annual dividend= 9%
Par value= $75
Market price= $72
Flotation cost= $6
Dividend payment= 0.09*$75= $6.75
Money received on sale of preferred stock= $72 - $6= $66
Cost of preferred stock= Preferred dividend/ Money received on sale of preferred stock
= $6.75/ $66
= 0.1023*100
= 10.23%.
