I bought preferred shares of a company. I paid $20 for each share and the dividend is $1.8 per share. From this investment, I want to earn 10%/year. What is the % return from this investment? Did I make a good decision?

Rate of Return = Dividend / Stock Cost Price

Rate of Return = $1.80/$20

% Rate of Return = 9%

Since you want to earn 10%/year, this is not a good investment as it only earns 9% per year.
