Answer:

$50.82

Explanation:

Hecla mining corporation pays an annual dividend of $3.10

The required return on the preferred stock is 6.10 percent

Therefore the value of the stock can be calculated as follows

= Annual dividend/ required rate of return

= 3.10 / 6.10÷100

= 3.10/ 0.061

= $50.82

Hence the value of the stock is $50.82
