    Answer: a) 16.39%

    b) 11.11%

    c) 10%

    d) 7.25%

    Explanation:

    In calculating the nominal rate of return on a perpetual stock, the following formula is used,

    rp = Dp/Vp.

    Where,

    r = rate of return,

    D = dividend;

    V = current market price of preferred stock

    Dividend is 10% of Par

    Dividend = 10% * 100

    Dividend = $10

    a) $61

    = 10/61

    = 0.16393442623

    = 16.39%

    b) $90

    = 10/90

    = 11.11%

    c) $100

    = 10/100

    = 10%

    d) $138

    = 10/138

    = 0.07246376811

    = 7.25%
