    Answer: 8.36%

    Explanation:

    The growth rate being thrown in there was in an effort to confuse you into using the Dividend Discount Model.

    This is a Preferred Stock however and is calculated differently as such,

    Net Price = Dividends / rate

    Making rate the subject we have,

    r = Dividends / Net Price

    So plugging in the figures we have,

    r = 3 / 35.9

    r = 0.08356545961

    r = 8.36%

    The market required rate of return on your firm's preferred stock is 8.36%.
