Answer:

6.20%

Explanation:

The company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing is the annual dividend payable on the preferred stock divided by the net price of the stock

annual dividend is $2.10

net price=market price*(1-flotation cost %)

net price=$36.04 *(1-6%)

net price=$ 33.88  

company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing=$2.10/$33.88

company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing==6.20%
