XYZ Corporation is planning to issue 5 million shares of preferred stock. These shares will pay a perpetual dividend of $5.00 per share. The current risk-free rate of interest is 3.33% and XYZ is able to issue new bonds at a 10% yield-to-maturity. XYZ is a high-quality company and preferred stocks of similar quality companies are yielding 5%. The per share value of XYZ Corporation’s preferred stock is: a. $5.00 b. $100.00 c. $150.00 d. $300.00
(b) $100 =$5 / 0.05
its 5/.10
.
Can you do it using the price formula? Use P=D/(K-g)
You don’t need p = d/k-g you have preferred. so just do preferred dividend/YTM

Here we have to use the bond yield plus risk premium approach: Rce= Rd - Rerp= 0.1 - (0.05)=0.05 Rm=DIV/P 5%= 5/P solve for P P=100
I don’t understand how its a high quality company, other people are able to raise debt cheaper!! wtf is this question?
preferred stock can be commonly valued using the perpetuity formula = payment/discount the key here is the “perpetual dividend of $5…” and recognizing the market will discount the forward payments with the “appropriate” discount rate… which is this case is merely a reference to industry peers

> I don’t understand how its a high quality company, other people are able to raise debt cheaper!! wtf is this question? I agree, while bonds are selling for 3.33%, this company is paying 10%.

Spreads can be wide enough that investment-grade rated corporate debt trades at those levels and then some…
Yes, those who said use the perpetuity method are correc, and that was the answer given, but I wanted to see if the other formula holds, which it should (strangedays had the right idea): P=D/(K-g) D=$5.00 K is the cost of peferred equity, which is 5%, g=0, since the dividend doesn’t grow.
Char lee, have you ever seen a spread that big for high quality companies?

delta9, > That’s what I thought, but that’s not a choice…($50) I took that choice out and replaced it with $300.

I know only one formula to value the price or the return or whatever on a preferred stock, and that’s the Dividend/Price=yield. I don’t know what are you talking about D/(ke-g) for preferred stock:)
