26- A firm has the following preferred stocks outstanding:
PFD A: $40 annual dividend, $1,000 par value, no maturity
PFD B: $95 annual dividend, $1,000 par value, maturity after twenty-five years
If comparable yields are 9 percent, what should be the price of each preferred stock?
Answer : Calculation of Price of PFD A
Since the preferred stock has no maturity therefore dividend will be received till perpetuity
Price = Annual Dividend / Yield Rate.
= 40 / 0.09
= 444.44
Calculation of Price of PFD B
Price = (Annual Dividend * PVAF @ yield for n years ) + (Par Value * PVF @ yield for nth year)
= (95 * PVAF @ 9% for 25 years) + (Par Value * PVF @ 9% for 25th year)
= (95 * 9.82257960421) + (1000 * 0.11596783551)
= 933.145 + 115.96783551
= 1049.11
