What annual dividend will it have to promise if investors demand a return of 12%?

(a) $4.2

(b) $5.6

(c) $2.8

(d) $2.45

(e) $2.1

(f) $1.05

Explanation:

Given that,

Total amount of capital raised from the sale of preferred stock = $35 million

Number of shares = 1 million

Price per share = Total capital raised ÷ Number of shares

                          =  $35 million ÷ 1 million

                          = $35 per share

(a) If a Expected rate of return = 12 percent

Annual dividend = Price per share × Expected Rate of return

                            = $35 per share × 0.12

                            = $4.2

(b) If a Expected rate of return = 16 percent

Annual dividend = Price per share × Expected Rate of return

                            = $35 per share × 0.16

                            = $5.6

(c) If a Expected rate of return = 8 percent

Annual dividend = Price per share × Expected Rate of return

                            = $35 per share × 0.08

                            = $2.8

(d) If a Expected rate of return = 7 percent

Annual dividend = Price per share × Expected Rate of return

                            = $35 per share × 0.07

                            = $2.45

(e) If a Expected rate of return = 6 percent

Annual dividend = Price per share × Expected Rate of return

                            = $35 per share × 0.06

                            = $2.1

(f) If a Expected rate of return = 3 percent

Annual dividend = Price per share × Expected Rate of return

                            = $35 per share × 0.03

                            = $1.05
