    The cost of newly issued preferred stock to the firm is 5.82%

    Explanation:

    Annual dividend = $25 * 6% = $1.5

    Present price = $28

    Flotation costs = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08

    Cost of new stock = Annual dividend / [Current price (1 - flotation costs) ]

    Cost of new stock = 1.5 / [ 28 (1 - 0.08) ]

    Cost of new stock = 1.5 / [ 28 (0.92) ]

    Cost of new stock = 1.5 / 25.76

    Cost of new stock = 0.0582

    Cost of new stock = 5.82% (Approx).
