    To solve for the current yield, we must do the following steps:

    1. Get the interest of the preferred stock.

    100 x 0.06 = 6

    2. Now if you get the interest, divide this by the amount of the current selling price of the stock.

    6 / 102 = 0.0588

    3. Just convert this into percentage.

    0.0588 x 100 = 5.9%
