The Jones Company plans to issue preferred stock with a perpetual annual dividend of $5 per share and a par value of $30. If the required return on this stock is currently 20%, what should be the stock's market value?
a. $ 50
b. $150
c. $ 25
d. $ 10
e. $100

c) $25

Explanation:

The value of a preferred stock is the present value of the constant dividend payable for the foreseeable future discounted at the required rate of return

Price = Constant dividend/ required return

The constant dividend = Dividend rate × par value

Dividend as be given as $5 per share

requited return - 20%

So the price of the stock would be

Price = 5/0.2

= $25

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.
