IVY has preferred stock selling for 97.6 percent of par that pays a 7.4 percent annual coupon. What would be IVY's component cost of preferred stock? |
7.58%
7.22%
17.76%
7.40%
Annual coupon = (1000* 7.4%) = $74
Current price = (1000* 97.6%) = $976
Hence component cost of preferred stock = Annual coupon/ Current price
= (74/ 976)
= 0.0758 or 7.58%
So correct answer is A
