The per-share value of Marston's preferred stock should be $92

Explanation:

The computation of the per-share value of Marston's preferred stock is shown below:

= (Annual Dividend rate) : (yields generation) * 100

= (5.75%) : (6.25%) * 100

= $92

We simply divide the Annual Dividend rate by the yields generation or we can say it is a required rate of return.

All other information which is given in the question is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
