    A share of preferred stock cost $55.76 today

    Explanation:

    The price of a perpetuity can be calculated using the zero growth model in dividend discount model. The formula for the price of such a stock is,

    P0 = Dividend / r

    Where r is the required rate of return.

    However, in this case the stock will start paying dividend after 7 years from now. So we will adjust this formula as this will provide us the future Price after 7 yearsvor in the eighth year of such a stock.

    The adjusted formula will be,

    P0 = (Dividend / r) / (1+r) ^8

    So,

    P0 = (10 / 0.09) / (1+0.09) ^8

    P0 = $55.762
