A firm issued $15 million in preferred stock at a price of $3.25 per share. The preferred shares carry a 13% dividend, or $0.43 annually. After paying fees and costs, the firm realizes $2.89 per share issued. What is the cost of capital for this issuance of preferred stock?

14.8%

Explanation:

Cost of capital for preferred stock can be calculated by a simple formula

Formula: Cost of preferred capital = dividend/(Current price - floatation cost)

As you can see in the question data current price - floatation cost and dividend is already given as $2.89 and $0.43 respectively. We just need to put values in formula.

Cost of preferred capital = $0.43/$2.89 x 100

Cost of preferred capital = 14.8%

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
