    Required rate of return is 6.97%

    Explanation:

    The required rate of return can be ascertained from the price formula below when the subject of the formula is changed to rate of return instead of stock price:

    Stock price = dividend/required rate of return

    stock price is $80.40

    required rate of return is unknown

    the dividend on the preferred stock is $5.60

    required rate of return=dividend/stock price

    required rate of return = $5.60/$80.40=6.97%

    The required rate of return based on the stock price and dividend information provided is 6.97%
