    Becker Question –

    The question says “William can sell 8 percet preferred stock at par value, $105 per share. The cost of issuing and selling the preferred stock is expected to be $5 per share”

    How can I get the cost of preferred stock of 8.4% from above statement as the answer did? Can someone show me the calculation? Thanks a bunch.

    105*0.08 = 8.4

    Then you need to subtract issue cost: 105-5= 100

    Thus, cost for preferred stock: 8.4/100 = %8.4

    Hope that helps…

    B - 7/1/2011 ---------> 85
    R - 7/28/2011 ---------> 77!!!
    A - 10/30/2011---------> 83
    F - 11/26/2012 --------> 85
