    Explanation:

    The computation of the cost of preferred stock is shown below:

    As we know that

    Cost of preferred stock = {Annual dividend : (price - flotation cost) } * 100

    where,

    Annual dividend = 6.0% * $100 = $6

    Flotation cost = $80 * 0.03 = $2.4

    And, the price is $80

    So, the cost of preferred stock is

    ={$6 : ($80 - $2.4) } * 100

    = ($6 : 77.6) * 100

    = 7.73%

    We simply applied the above formula
