a) Computation of Current Price of Preferred Stock:

Current Price = Annual Dividend/Discount Rate 

= $7.32/12%

= $61

 

b) Computation of Future Price:

Without changes on the discount rate, the stock price will not change. 

So, Future Price is same as Current Price i.e. $61

 

c) 

(i) Computation of Dividend Yield:

Dividend Yield = Annual Dividend/Current Price 

= $7.32/$61 

= 12%

 

(ii) Computation of Capital Gains Yield:

Capital gains yield is the percentage of the original price that is accounted for by the price changing. The capital gains yield here is zero because there will be no capital gains income from the preferred stock.

So, Capital Gains Yield = 0

 

(iii) Computation of Expected Rate of Return of the Stock:

Expected Rate of Return of the Stock = Dividend Yield + Capital Gains Yield 

= 12% + 0 

= 12%
