Answer:
r = 0.075 or 7.5%
Option a is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that the investors require on a stock based on the risk associated with that stock. To calculate the required rate of return on a preferred stock, we divide the dividend provided by the preferred stock by the market price of the stock.
r = Dividend / Market Price
r = 6 / 80
r = 0.075 or 7.5%
