    6.2%

    Explanation:

    The instrinsic value of the company's preferred stock can be determined as the sum of all discounted dividends. The cashflow pattern of preferred shares is similiar to perpetuity.

    Preferred share price = CF / (1 + Cost of preferred stock) + CF / (1 + Cost of preferred stock) ^2 + ... + CF / (1 + Cost of preferred stock) ^n, or reduced form as

    = CF/Cost of preferred stock

    Putting all the number together, we get:

    96 = 5.95/Cost of preferred stock, or Cost of preferred stock = 6.2%
