Answer: kp = D/Po

               D = 0.07 X $100 = $7

               kp  = 7/63

               kp = 11.11%

Explanation: The dividend paid on the preferred stock is 7 percent of the par value and the current market price is $63. Thus, the cost of preferred stock can be obtained by dividing the dividend paid by the current market price of the preferred stocks.
