    The price of the stock today is $20 per share.

    Explanation:

    The perpetual preferred stock is a zero growth stock as it pays a constant dividend forever. The stock can also qualify as a perpetuity as it pays a fixed dividend after equal intervals of time for an infinite period of time. The formula to calculate the present value of the perpetuity or the price of a zero growth stock is:

    Price or present value = Cash flow or Dividend / r

    Thus, the price of the perpetual stock today is:

    Price = 1.6 / 0.08

    Price = $20
