Prefered "Stock" cannot be valued on the dividend stream alone. The
price of the stock would vary based on the financial condition on the
company that issues the prefered stock.

Hope this helps.

I am not sure if I am correct

a.  P0 = Div1/r						
          = 8/.12						
          =  66.66						
b.   P0 = Div1/r-g						
           = 8/.12-0						
           = 66.66						
c.    r = [Div1/P0] + g						
         = [8/66.66 ] +0						
         = 12% dividend yield						
Because ther is no change in stock price, there is not capital gain.
