Explanation / Answer

6) Dividend Yield Formula = Cash Dividend for Share/Market Value per share = 1.92/23.50=0.082 or 8.17%

if total return ,r is 14% capital gain= 14% - 8.17 %= 5.83%

7) if expected rate of return ,r , is less tha required rate return ,r, I wont buy the stock , if I already hold it , I will sell off the stock.

8) required rate of rp= formula = V=Dp/Kp we have V=$ 65 Dp= 7% or $ 7 (100*7%)   

65=7/Kp= > Kp= 7/65 =0.10769 or 10.78%

9) The price of preferred stock = V= Dp/Kp =8/0.12 => 66.67

10) stock Z dividend = $ 3 Price =$ 30 Kp = 3/30 => 0.1 or 10%
