Answer:

Explanation:

return on preferred stock (rp) = Dividend/ Current price

rate of return  = 5.5% or 0.055 as a decimal

Dividend amount = dividend rate * par value ;

Dividend amount = 4.5% * 1000 = $45

Current price = ?

Next, plug the numbers to the formula above to find Price;

0.055 = 45/ Price

0.055Price = 45

Divide both sides by 0.055;

Price = 45/ 0.055

Price = $818.18
