Answer:

The answer is "10.49%".

Explanation:

Preference inventory values are incurred as described below:

Using formula:

[tex]= \frac{Annual \ \ dividend}{ Price \times (1 - flotation\ cost) ]}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{\$ 10}{[ \$ 100 \times (1 - 0.0472) ]}\\\\= \frac{\$ 10}{ \$ 100 \times (0.9528) }\\\\= \frac{\$ 10}{ \$ 95.28}\\\\=0.10495\\\\=10.49\%[/tex]
