A firm is paying an annual dividend of $6.00 for its preferred stock which is selling for $62.00. There is a selling cost of $3.00. What is the after-tax cost of preferred stock if the firm's tax rate is 38%? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Rps = Dps/Pnet
where:
Dps = preferred dividends
Pnet = net issuing price

=6/(62-3)

=0.1017

Rps=10.17%

B)

Using above formula

dividend= cost of prefered stock*net issue proceds

=0.11*(64-2)

dividend==$6.82

C) Cost= 8/(72-3%*72)

=0.1145

after-tax cost of preferred stock=11.45%

Tax does not have any effect on prefered stock.
