a) | Cost of preferred stock = 700*52 = | $ 36,400 |
b) | Dividend received on preferred stock = 700*60*6% = | $ 2,520 |
c) | Value of common stock at the time of conversion = 500*95.50 = | $ 47,750 |
d) | Annual dividend on common stock = 500*6 = | $ 3,000 |
e) | % return on conversion to common stock: | |
i) Return on original investment = 3000/36400 = | 8.24% | |
% increase in annual return = 8.24%-6.00% = | 2.24% | |
ii) Return on value of common stock = 3000/47750 = | 6.28% | |
% increase in annual return = 6.28%-6.00% = | 0.28% |
