Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Issued preferred stock outstanding that pays dividend per year = $7.75

Current selling price = $68.19 per share

Required return = (Annual dividend : Current price) * 100

= ($7.75 : $68.19) * 100

= 11.37% (Approx)

Therefore, the required return is 11.37% if this issue currently sells for $68.19 per share.
