    28.63%

    Explanation:

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

    Cost of the preferred stock = Dividend : Price of the stock

    where,

    Dividend is

    = $1,000 * $15%

    = $150

    And, the price of the stock is

    = Market value of the stock - flotation cost

    = $576 - $52

    = $524

    So, the cost of preferred stock is

    = $150 : $524

    = 28.63%

    We ignored the marginal tax rate i. e 40%
