Given that preference shares have an expected dividend stream of 20 cents in perpetuity and that the current market price (cum-dividend) of the preference shares is $2.40, calculate the cost of capital(kp) of these preference shares.

For this question, I am not sure why the answer is 9.09% rather than 8.33% that ive calculated from 0.2/2.4. Kindly explain.

Information provided:

Preference share dividend= $0.20

Current market price of preference share and dividend= $2.40

Current market price of preference shares= $2.40 – 0.20= $2.20

Cost of preference shares= Preference share dividend/ Current market price of preference shares

= $0.20/ $2.20

= 0.0909*100

= 9.09%

The cost of preference share was not 8.33% since the price of 2.40 includes the market price and preferred dividend. So, dividend needed to be deducted from $2.40 to arrive at the price of the preferred stock.

In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
