Answer:

c. 7.39%

Explanation:

Preferred dividend rate before tax = 8.4%

Tax rate = 40%

Dividend  exclusion of = 70%

After-tax return = Preferred dividend rate [ 1 - (1-Dividend  exclusion)*(Tax rate)

After-tax return = 8.4% [ 1 - (1-0.70)*(0.40)

After-tax return = 8.4% [1-0.12]

After-tax return = 8.4% * 0.88

After-tax return = 7.39%
