The Hold Up Bank has issued 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Each share pays a $3.00 quarterly dividend in perpetuity. If the next dividend is to be paid later today, and one preferred share currently costs $203.00, what is the cost of preferred equity? Calculate as an EAR, not an APR. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to two decimals. Hint: The stock price is simply the present value of the expected future cash flows. Here the cash flows (dividends) happen to be a constant perpetuity with the first payment taking place today.
