A perpetual preferred stock has a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 6% per year. If it is issued at $850, what's the implicit annual discount rate?

  1. 6.94%
  2. 7.00%
  3. 7.19%
  4. 7.06%

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A preferred stock is valued like a perpetuity. The price of a preferred stock with a face value F and a coupon rate c equals F*c/r, where r is the implicit discount rate. In this case, we have 850 = 1,000*0.06/r, giving r = 7.06%.
