Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) We first determine the annual dividend by multiplying the par value by the dividend rate. We have: 50  0.0725 = 3.625. Now, using the equation r = and dividing the 3.625 annual dividend by the current price of 38.75, we have: r = 0.093548, or about 9.355.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Preferred stock can be converted into common stock at a preset point in the future.
