Question

E-Eyes.com just issued some new preferred stock. The issue will pay an annual dividend of $29 in perpetuity, beginning 18 years from now. If the market requires a return of 4.3 percent on this investment, how much does a share of preferred stock cost today? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

316.09 IS THE WRONG ANSWER. Please do not return that as the answer.

Explanation / Answer

We will use PVF of 17th year as discount factor and not eighteenth year due to below reason Dividend at end of 18th year                        29.00 Price at end of 17th year = 29/4.3%                      674.42 share of preferred stock cost today = 674.42 * .4888                      329.68 Time PVF                                                                     1.00                      0.9588                                                                     2.00                      0.9192                                                                     3.00                      0.8813                                                                     4.00                      0.8450                                                                     5.00                      0.8102                                                                     6.00                      0.7768                                                                     7.00                      0.7447                                                                     8.00                      0.7140                                                                     9.00                      0.6846                                                                   10.00                      0.6564                                                                   11.00                      0.6293                                                                   12.00                      0.6034                                                                   13.00                      0.5785                                                                   14.00                      0.5547                                                                   15.00                      0.5318                                                                   16.00                      0.5099                                                                   17.00                      0.4888
