b. Suppose interest rates rise and pull the preferred stock's yield up to 12%. What is its new market value? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Explanation / Answer

1.

P=D0*(1+g)/(ke-g)

19=2*(1+4%)/(ke-4%)

19=2.08/(ke-0.04)

ke-0.04=2.08/19

ke-0.04=0.1095

ke=0.1495

ke=14.95% is the required rate of return

Stock price one year from now=19*1.04=19.76
