    Solution and Explanation:

    Given dа ta:

    the market price of share = $80, the par value of share = $75, floatation cost = $3.5, corporate tax = 21 %

    The Annual dividend = 75 multiply with 16 percent = $12

    Hence, the cost of preferred stock = Annual dividend divide by (Current price-Flotation cost)

    = 12 / (80-3.5)

    after solving, we get, which is equal to

    = 15.69% (Approx) (rounded off to 2 decimal places)

    NOTE: The Tax rate would not affect the cost of preferred stock financing.
