6.03%

Explanation:

The computation of the required rate of return is shown below:

Required rate of return = Annual preference dividend : expected sale price

= $5.55 : $92

= 6.03%

By dividing the annual preference dividend by the expected sale price we can get the required rate of return and the same is shown above

Hence, the required rate of return is 6.03%
