    Answer: The correct answer is "a. 8,22%".

    Explanation:

    Preferred stock price is $102.50

    Preferred dividend is $8.00

    Flotation cost 5.00%

    We have to calculate the firm cost of preferred stock with the formula

    rp = Dp / (Pp (1 - F))

    So = rp = 8 / [102,50 * (1 - 0,05) ] = 8,22%
