Information provided:

Annual dividend= 9%

Par value= $75

Market price= $72

Flotation cost= $6

Dividend payment= 0.09*$75= $6.75

Money received on sale of preferred stock= $72 - $6= $66

Cost of preferred stock= Preferred dividend/ Money received on sale of preferred stock

                                        = $6.75/ $66

                                        = 0.1023*100

                                        = 10.23%.
