A preferred share pays 8 a year and investors require 10 percent. Its value today is 8 divided by:
A0.10
B0.08
C1.10
D8.00
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 0.10
1. The price is the annual dividend divided by the rate of return.
2. The dividend is 8 and the required return is 0.10.
3. So the value is 8 divided by 0.10, which is 80.
