Current Price = $66.67
Theo will be willing to pay a price of $66.67.
Answer to Part b.:
Annual Dividend = $100 * 6% = $6
Required Return on Preferred Stock = Annual Dividend / Current

13 = $6 / Current Price * 100
Current Price = $46.15
Jonathan will be willing to pay a price of $46.15.
Answer to Part c.:
Annual Dividend = $100 * 6% = $6
Required Return on Preferred Stock = Annual Dividend / Current
Price * 100
15 = $6 / Current Price * 100
Current Price = $40.00
Josh will be willing to pay a price of $40.00
Answer to Part d.:
Annual Dividend = $100 * 6% = $6
Required Return on Preferred Stock = Annual Dividend / Current
Price * 100
